What else can I help you with?
When living things use chemical reactions to break down food some of the energy is transformed into waste or heat?
waste
What process is the total of all the chemical reactions in an organism?
Metabolism is the process that encompasses all the chemical reactions that occur in an organism. It involves obtaining nutrients, converting them into usable energy, and removing waste products.
What reactions happen in the body?
In the body, various chemical reactions occur to maintain life processes, such as digestion, respiration, and metabolism. Enzymes facilitate these reactions by speeding up biochemical processes. These reactions involve breaking down nutrients for energy, building molecules for growth and repair, and eliminating waste products.
What is the PRIMARY function of enzymes in an organism?
Enzymes primarily function as biological catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions in an organism. They do this by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, without being consumed in the process.
The sum total of the chemical activity at the cellular level which enables an organism to meet its nutrient and energy demands is termed?
Metabolism. It encompasses all the chemical reactions that occur within cells to maintain life, including processes such as energy production, nutrient breakdown, and waste elimination.
Summary of waste disposal issue including an explanation of some of the chemical reactions that must occur to break down the waste the rates at which they occur and the obstacles inhibit them?
FUNGI?????????

waste
The total of all chemical reactions in an organism?
Metabolism is the total of all chemical reactions that occur within an organism, including processes like energy production, growth, repair, and waste elimination. These reactions are regulated by enzymes and can be categorized into two main types: catabolic reactions that break down molecules to release energy, and anabolic reactions that build molecules using energy.
What process is the total of all the chemical reactions in an organism?
Metabolism is the process that encompasses all the chemical reactions that occur in an organism. It involves obtaining nutrients, converting them into usable energy, and removing waste products.
What is the totality of chemical reactions that occur in a living organism?
metabolism
Are chemical reactions useful?
yes some chemical reactions are harmful to us. as digestion of food, photosynthesis, decomposition of organic waste are some examples of the useful chemical reactions.
What is the term used to describe all the life sustaining chemical reactions within the body?
The term you are looking for is metabolism. Metabolism includes all the chemical reactions that occur in the body to maintain life, such as converting food into energy, building and repairing tissues, and removing waste products.

Metabolism is defined as?
Metabolism is the total amount of chemical processes that occur in living organisms. The process causes growth, energy and eliminate waste.
What refers to all of the biochemical reactions that occur in the body?
Metabolism refers to all of the biochemical reactions that occur in the body, including processes like breaking down food to release energy, building and repairing tissues, and eliminating waste products.
How does water help an organism maintain homeostasis?
Living things need water in their cells. Water is the universal solvent - most of the chemicals a cell needs is dissolved and transported in water. Water is an environment where chemical reactions can occur and water is needed in many of those reactions - like the hydrolysis reaction (needed in the break down of food molecules). If a cell becomes dehydrated chemical reactions slow down. Chemical balance of the cell is changed as waste materials are not removed fast enough, food is not broken down, etc. Water also helps regulate the heat that can build up in a cell during chemical reactions. A dehydrated cell = increase in cell temp. Water content of a cell also affects the pH of a cell environment. Certain reactions occur better at certain pH. Homeostasis is maintaining a balance with the environment. Without water the balance is upset.
