Biochemical reactions in the body
What are examples of biochemical reactions?
Although there are many possible biochemical reactions, they fall into only a few types to consider: Oxidation and reduction: For example, the interconversion of an alcohol and an aldehyde. Movement of functional groups within or between molecules For example, the transfer of phosphate groups from one oxygen to another.
What are the 5 types of chemical reactions?
We'll learn about the five major types of chemical reactions: synthesis, decomposition, synthesis, single replacement (also called single displacement) and double replacement (also called double displacement). We'll look at examples of each, so that you can classify them, figuring out what type they are.
What do biochemical reactions in a human body require?
Most biochemical reactions need a biological catalyst called an enzyme to speed up the reaction by reducing the amount of activation energy needed for the reaction to begin. Most enzymes are proteins that affect just one specific substance, called the enzyme's substrate. There are many inherited metabolic disorders in humans.
What are some chemical reactions that occur in your body?
Every chemical reaction that occurs in the human body occurs through water. All cells in the human body are soaked in water. Nutrients and oxygen are transported throughout the body using water and individual cells need water to bring the nutrients and oxygen into them.

Excessive levels, a level higher than needed for biological functions, of these elements can be toxic for the body health. Therefore, it has been found that the imbalances in the optimum levels of trace elements may adversely affect biological processes

reactions—catabolic or anabolic—do you think occur when your body digests food? ENZYMES Most biochemical reactions within organisms would be impossible under the conditions in cells. For example, the body temperature of most organisms is too low for reactions to occur quickly enough to carry out life processes.

Trillions of chemical reactions happen simultaneously in the body. They drive the processes that keep a human body ‘alive’. Collectively, they are known as metabolism. Metabolism is made up of numerous metabolic pathways. A metabolic pathway is a sequence of chemical reactions that follow a set of ‘instructions’ contained in the body ...

11. Many chemical reactions need energy to get them started. This energy is known as the . activation energy. Enzymes help catalyze, or speed up, these chemical reactions by lowering the amount of activation energy needed for the reactions to proceed. Reactions that do not use an enzyme require more energy. 12.
