changed during a chemical reaction
Reactants
Exothermic
release more energy than they absorb.
Endothermic
absorb more energy than they release.
Changes in ph and temperature
Disruptions in homeostasis can prevent enzymes from properly functioning.
activation energy
amount of energy
needed to start a chemical
reaction.
Chemical reaction/ reaction rate
Speeds up
made by a chemical reaction.
Products
Equilibrium
reactants and
products form at the same
rate.
catalyst lowers?
