Cells undergo a variety of biochemical reactions essential for life, including metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, which generate ATP for energy. Additionally, cells engage in anabolic reactions to synthesize macromolecules like proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids from smaller units. Catabolic reactions break down substrates to release energy and recycle cellular components. Moreover, cells participate in signaling reactions that facilitate communication and respond to external stimuli.
Chemical reactions occur at the electrodes of electrochemical cells. At the anode, oxidation occurs as electrons are released into the circuit, and at the cathode, reduction occurs as electrons are accepted from the circuit. This flow of electrons creates an electric current in the cell.
Redox reactions can occur in electrolytic cells when an externally applied electrical current drives non-spontaneous redox reactions to proceed. This is a process used in electrolysis, where an electrical current is passed through an electrolyte to induce chemical changes.

Everywhere. Different reactions are happening in different places. The sum of all these reactions keeps the cell alive.
The reactions of photosynthesis take place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Specifically, the light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes, while the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.

Chemical reactions in cells are facilitated by enzymes, which are biological catalysts that lower the activation energy needed for reactions to occur. Enzymes provide an environment that promotes chemical reactions at lower temperatures, known as physiological conditions. This allows cells to efficiently carry out metabolic processes despite the low temperatures inside the cell.
