complex carbohydrates and simple sugars
A
simple sugars—> complex carbohydrates
7
Q
what do enzymes affect reactions?
A
enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy
8
Q
coupling of reactions
A
in the body:
endergonic reactions like muscle reaction are coupled with
exergonic reactions to provide energy
