All living things require an outside source of materials and energy. The sum total of all chemical reactions that occur within a cell to provide these materials and energy is called metabolism.

Energy is the ability to perform work.  In an organism's body energy is required to perform each and every processes inside the body. In eukaryotic organisms this energy is derived by the mitochondria. In humans and various other species, the major source of energy is ATP.

Metabolism is the sum total of all the reactions taking place inside the body. These reactions can be anabolic or catabolic. The anabolic reaction involve the formation of larger molecules from the smaller ones. The catabolic reactions involve the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller ones.

What ways do enzymatic catalysts increase the rates of reactions? they shift the reaction equilibrium toward the products they d
Elodia [21]
This is a question regarding how enzymes increase the rates of reactions. There are choices and the instructions is to check all that apply.

<span>1. They shift the reaction equilibrium towards the products. </span>
<span>2. They increase the concentration of the reactants. </span>
<span>3. They lower the activation energy of the reaction. </span>
<span>4. They decrease the free energy of a reaction. </span>
<span>5. They promote the formation of a transition state. 

The correct answers in this question are "they lower the activation energy of the reaction" and "they promote the formation of a transition state". Enzymes do not necessarily shift the the reaction equilibrium to the products, as there are reversible enzymatic reactions that can reverse the pathway back to the substrates. They do not increase the concentration of the reactants as the concentration of the reactants is an independent variable in this process. They do not decrease the free energy of activation as this is a constant in every reaction depending on the substrates and the products. 

Enzymes do, however, lower the activation energy of the reaction meaning it will take less energy and effort for the substrates to reach the activation energy to transform it to its transition state then to the products. With this said, enzymes promote the formation of a transition state.

Attached is a simplified image on how enzymes work. </span>

Which lanes sample produced the fewest fragments of DNA?
aliina [53]

Lane A.

The smallest fragments of DNA will be witnessed near the bottom of the gel, on the other hand, the heavier fragments will be visible at the top. The theory behind this is there is a specific pore size on the basis of the concentration of acrylamide/agarose in the gel.
