What is the name of the group of molecules used specifically to speed up metabolic reactions?
Enzymes
What group of biological molecules can speed up chemical reactions by lowering a reactions activation energy?
Biological catalysts are called 'enzymes'.
Which group of biological molecules can speed up chemical reactions by lowering a reaction's activation energy?
Enzymes
What are protein catalysts that speed up the various metabolic biological reactions in an organism?
Enzymes.
What molecules speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation?
Enzymes are the molecules that speed up chemical reactions, and these are forms of catalysts.
How do enzymes affect reactions in living cells?
Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze (i.e., increase the rates of) chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell. Enzymes are known to catalyze about 4,000 biochemical reactions.
Molecules which speed up chemical reactions in cells are called what?
Enzymes
When heat energy is added the speed of the molecules?
To hasten chemical reactions.
What proteins are vital living things because of they speed up chemical reactions by up to a trillion times?
You are thinking of enzymes a protein molecule that helps other organic molecules enter into chemical reactions with one another but is itself unaffected by these reactions. In other words, enzymes act as catalysts (speed up 1000x) organic biochemical reactions.
Protein catalysts that speed up the various metabolic biological reactions in an organism are called?
Enzyme
When heat energy is added the speed of the molecules blank?
To hasten chemical reactions.
What speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation?
Enzymes are the molecules that speed up chemical reactions, and these are forms of catalysts.
