Answer 2

Answer:

Types of Biochemical Reactions

Although there are many possible biochemical reactions, they fall into only a few types to consider:

Oxidation and reduction: For example, the interconversion of an alcohol and an aldehyde.

Movement of functional groups within or between molecules For example, the transfer of phosphate groups from one oxygen to another.

Addition and removal of water: For example, hydrolysis of an amide linkage to an amine and a carboxyl group.

Bond‐breaking reactions: For example, carbon‐carbon bond breakage.

The complexity of life results, not from many different types of reactions, but rather from these simple reactions occurring in many different situations. Thus, for example, water can be added to a carbon‐carbon double bond as a step in the breakdown of many different compounds, including sugars, lipids, and amino acids.
