chemical energy (from molecules such as saccharides, fats, proteins we eat) that is transformed into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) in cell respiration (glycolysis, Krebs' Cycle and Electron Transport Chain).
Whenever a pump at a cell membrane wants to get a substance in low concentration to an area of high concentration, it makes molecules of ATP bind to it, these ATP molecules split into ADP (AdenosineDIphosphate) + Pi and therefore release this very chemical energy that was stored in cell respiration. Eventually, it is this energy that also makes the pump work.

What kind of energy do enzymes reduce?
activation energy activation energy
How do enzymes affect the activation of energy in chemical reactions?
they lower the activation energy.
What is activation energy and how does it relate to cell metabolism?
activation energy is the amount of energy that is required for a reaction to start. Enzymes lower activation energy allowing metabolism to go at increased rates.
What is activation energy and how do enzymes effect it?
There is no straight forward relation between enzyme and activation energy because although energy of reaction is fixed and is governed by laws of chemistry but for biochemical reactions concentration of enzyme and conc. of substrate affect rate of reaction and energy, but in general enzymes decrease activation energy of reaction.
Why activation energy is referred in the definition of enzymes?
The chemical term activation energy is the amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to take place. For more information about different chemical contact a scientists or science professor in one's area.
What term is used to describe the minimum amount of energy required in order for a reaction to proceed?
This energy is called "energy of activation", it is used to overcame the energy barrier between reactants and products.
Which is a best definition of activation energy?
Activation energy is energy or power conducted that can be instantly activated for use when flick a light switch you used activation energy.
What it the term used to describe the energy needed to get a reaction started?
The energy needed to get a reaction started is called activation energy.
What is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
activation energy ( I know it is right because it is in my science book)
What energy is required for the reaction to occur?
Activation energy. The kinetic energy from collisions between particles is used to reach the transition state
What is it called when energy is required to start a chemical reaction?
An exergonic reaction is activation energy (or energy of activation). An endergonic reaction is essentially the opposite of an exergonic reaction.
Is activation energy added or just there?
Activation energy is the amount of energy that should be gained by potential reactants, for a reaction to occur. A reaction can be occurred by reducing the activation energy of the reaction or increasing the activation energy of the reactants. Activation energy should be added.
What kind of energy do enzymes reduce?
activation energy activation energy
Explain the procedure used to determine the activation energy?
e
What describes the energy of activation?
Activation energy is the least amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction. It is used to activate atoms or molecules in order for them to begin a chemical reaction.
What is the minimum energy required for molecules to react with each other called?
That is called the activation energy or energy of activation (Ea).
What does an enzyme do to the activation energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
Enzymes are catalysts, they reduce the activation energy.
