Answer 14

no double bonded carbons

Question 15

Unsaturated Fats

Answer 15

one or more double bonded carbons

Question 16

Enzymes

Answer 16

They speed reactions up by lowering activation energy, can increase speed a million fold.
Can’t force or a reaction or change a reaction
Is NOT used up in a reaction – just speeds them up.
