Document Summary

Living organisms depend on enzymes, which are catalysts that speed up chemical reaction rates for an increase in their internal temperature. Intracellular communication in most cells is dependent on the mechanism that results in the reversible addition and subsequent removal of the phosphate group, from a particular protein. When considering most reactions, the uncatalyzed rate of the enzyme is often millions of times slower than the catalyzed rate of the enzyme. Free energy the energy in a system that is available to do work. 4. 1 energy and the laws of thermodynamics. Life is a process that is driven by energy. Energy the capacity to do work: 4. 1a energy exists in different forms. Different forms of energy include chemical energy, electrical energy, and mechanical energy. The different forms of energy can be transformed from one to the other. Energy is divided into two categories; kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy the energy of motion.
