Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for some biochemical reactions to release energy only above a threshold temperature.
Introduction:
A biochemical reaction is a reaction that involves the conversion of a substrate or molecule into the product with the help of enzymes in organisms. The biochemical reactions can be exothermic and endothermic. Exothermic reactions involve the production or release of heat.
