Chapter 3.5, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction

A minimum energy is required to begin a reaction is called an activation energy. Catalysts and enzymes are the two important factors to start of the reaction. Catalysts facilitate the reaction without consuming. Enzymes are composed proteins which catalyze the reaction in highly specific manner.

Blurred answer
