Why does fruit biodegrade?
Biodegradability refers to an object's susceptibility to being broken down and recycled by living organisms, mostly microorganisms. Fruit, because of its high nutrient content and its sometimes express purpose to be eaten by other organisms, makes it prime targets for consumption and digestion by other organisms. Most organisms also have the necessary enzymes to metabolism the relatively simple nutrients in fruit. In comparison, plastic is not nutritious to most organisms, it is normally not an intended target for ingestion, and for those unfortunate enough to ingest it, the necessary enzymes are not present in nature to break it down.
What process do living organisms break down glucose?
The Glycolysis process allows living organisms break down glucose
Why are enzymes necessary for anabolic reaction to occur in living organisms?
Enzymes allow many chemical reactions to occur. They catalyze reactions by lowering the activation energy, which is the amount of energy needed to trigger a chemical reaction. Whereas heat can provide energy to trigger reactions, temperatures needed to reach activation energy for most metabolic reactions are often too high to allow cells to survive, so enzymes are in fact needed if metabolism (anabolic or catabolic) is to occur.
Chemical reactions that take place in living organisms are collectively known as the organism's?
Metabolism is the set of all chemical process that take place in the body. The processes allow all life sustaining functions needed in the cells of living organisms.
What are all biochemical processes of an organism?
Biochemistry is the application of chemistry in the study of living organisms. Some biochemical processes of an organism are: metabolism, homeostasis and respiration.

What roles do nucleotides play in living organisms?
In living organisms, nucleotides play important roles in metabolism and signaling.
Why living organisms are classified?
because of their difference in metabolism
Are enzymes alive?
They are proteins produced by living organisms.
Roles do nucleotides play in living organisms?
In living organisms, nucleotides play important roles in metabolism and signaling.
In what form is energy returned to the environment by living organisms?
Metabolism
The sum totalof all the chemical prosses that take place in living organisms is called?
Metabolism .
What are the most common catalysts in living organisms?
In humans at least, enzymes are called bio-catalysts.
What process do living organisms break down glucose?
The Glycolysis process allows living organisms break down glucose
Where do you find biological catalyst?
These catalysts are called enzymes and exist in living organisms.
Why are viruses also classified as living?
Viruses are not typically considered to be organisms because they are incapable of "independent" or autonomous reproduction or metabolism. This controversy is problematic because some cellular organisms are also incapable of independent survival (but not of independent metabolism and procreation) and live as obligatory intracellular parasites. Although viruses have a few enzymes and molecules characteristic of living organisms, they have no metabolism of their own and cannot synthesize and organize the organic compounds that form them. Naturally, this rules out autonomous reproduction and they can only be passively replicated by the machinery of the host cell. In this sense they are similar to inanimate matter. While viruses sustain no independent metabolism, and thus are usually not accounted organisms, they do have their own genes and they do evolve by similar mechanisms by which organisms evolve.
