Question 18

What do these processes have in common? How do they differ?

Answer 18

The purpose that they have in common is they both have to do with active energy, they both have a reactant and they both have a product. The difference is that energy absorption has a lower reactant than the product and a higher activation energy. In releasing the energy it has an enzyme that helps it move faster. Also for releasing the energy it has a higher reactant and lower product.
