Photosynthesis vs Cellular Respiration:Question 9 In cellular respiration, energy taken in as glucose is metabolized into
other compounds. What molecule is used as an immediate, short-term
storage of this energy before it is used by the cell?

the contamination

we are putting to many trash.

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
