Chemical Reactions, Enzymes, Co-Enzymes Flashcards
1
Q
Metabolic pathway?
A
A series of linked reactions
2
Q
Metabolism
A
Reactions occur in organized sequences from substrates to end products with the help of enzymes
3
Q
Substrates=reactants?
A
They are the same but with ENZYMES we call them substrates
4
Q
Activation energy
A
The energy required to cause molecules to react
5
