What speeds up reactions?
A catalyst. It does do by decreasing the energy required for the reaction to take place (activation energy).
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by?
by lowering the activation energy of reactions
What is the biological catalyst that lowers the activation energy of reactions in cells?
an enzyme
Is catalyst is specific for each reaction?
Catalysts speed up reactions and they do this by decreasing the activation energy. The way they decrease the activation energy is by providing an alternate pathway for the reaction. Because there are so many different reaction mechanisms/pathways in chemistry, there must be many different catalysts.
Biologic catalyst that speed up chemical reactions?
Enzymes are biologic catalyst that speed up chemical reactions by lowering its activation energy Ea
What is ture of a catalyst?
It is true that a catalyst is used in chemical reactions to help speed up the reaction by reducing activation energy.
Is the activation energy for chemical reactions in living things high or low?
Activation energy of reaction is the same regardless if it is in living organism or in test tube. Yet, the energy of activation can be lowered if catalyst is present. In living things catalyst lower the energy needed for chemical reactions.
Lower a chemical reactions activation energy?
A catalyst lowers the activation energy without being consumed during a reaction
Effect of catalyst on the rate of reverse step?
A catalyst increases the reverse rate of the reaction
How do catalyst affect the energy reactions?
Catalysts doesn't affect the energy of reactions
How does the additions of a catalyst affect the energy of activation of a chemical reaction?
A catalyst changes the reaction mechanism to one with a lower activation energy; activation energy is lowered when a catalyst is added
How does a catalyst affect the rate of an industrial reaction?
Catalysts speed up reactions by reducing the activation energy.
