1. The answer is "<span>the energy required to start the reaction".
</span>This energy is called as activation energy of the reaction. If the activation
energy is high, reaction is slow. Enzymes help to carry out the reaction by
a new path by reducing the activation energy. But the energy of reactants
and the products remain as same as without enzyme.
2. The answer is "reaction in cells would be too slow to sustain life<span>".
</span>If the activation energy is very high for the reaction, then that reaction will
be very slow and will require more time<span> to complete the reaction. Then survival is
very low. Hence, the roll of enzymes is very important to sustain life.</span>
Answer: TEST YOUR STRENGTH!!!!! (mortal kombat reference btw) sorry if that dosnt help idk what it is
Widespread use of pesticide has lead to the development of:
More pesticide-resistant insects.
Answer:
sorry but i need the points
Explanation:
Answer:
The exergonic reaction of hydrolysis of ATP must be coupled to an endergonic reaction to perform work or to power other reactions.
Explanation:
ATP (adenosin triphosphate) is hydrolized to give ADP and releases energy as follows:
ATP + H₂O ⇆ ADP + Pi + energy
The released energy itself is not used to power biochemical reaction. In order to power other reactions, ATP hydrolysis- a energetically favorable reaction- is coupled to another energetically disfavorable reaction. The linking or coupling is performed through a shared intermediate, which is often a phosphorilated molecule. For example, in the formation reaction of sucrose from glucose and fructose, an intermediate is formated by the transfer of a phosphate group (Pi) provided by ATP hydrolysis. Then, the phosphorilated intermediate (glucose-Pi)- wich is unstable- reacts with fructose in a spontaneous reaction to give sucrose.
