alleryEnergy from respiration is released in slow step wise reactions controlled by:
AEmulsions
BEnzymes
CEnamels
DEnvelopes
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Enzymes
1. Uncontrolled oxidation would waste the energy as heat.
2. Biological catalysts pace the process.
3. Energy is released in a series of slow step-wise reactions controlled by enzymes.
4. So the answer is enzymes.
