There are two types of cell transport mechanisms. These types of transports are passive and active transport. The difference between active and passive is that passive does not require energy and active does require energy. The reason passive does not require energy is because it travels down a concentration gradient. On a concentration gradient molecules naturally move from high to low concentration. In active transport, molecules move from low to high concentration. There are three different types

Without catalyst, chemical reactions would still take place, but at a slower rate and the body wouldn’t benefit. All enzymes possess two essential properties. First, enzymes accelerate the rate of chemical reactions without being consumed and/or changed by the reaction. Second, enzymes accelerate reaction rates without changing the chemical equilibrium among reactants and products

initial stage of cellular respiration is glycolysis (Daempfle, 2016). A pear has protein and vitamins but a high percentage of sugars. At this stage, the glucose in the sugars in the pea is broken down. This process takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. The glucose molecule of the pear is broken down gradually into two molecules of the pyruvate.
