1. Chemical reactions involve the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. If the new bonds that are formed contain less energy than the bonds that were broken, there is a net release of energy that can be available for other processes. The usable energy goes towards driving the motion of parts of the cell, and this takes place in the mitochondria, an organelle.

2. ATP is similar to sugar because it consists of a sugar with an additional chemical group bonded to it. It is similar to DNA because that group is adenine, one of the base pairs in DNA.

3. B) Lipids.

4. C) Proteins.

5. Enzymes reduce the activation energy for chemical reactions, enabling them to happen more easily. The enzyme is normally not consumed in the reaction.

I study satyanarayan for the duration of my 1st twelve months yet later on found out that lippincott is a lot extra desirable, concise and as much as date then satyanarayan.. so i'm going to propose you to study lippincott.
