Question

Luciferin is a molecule that, when broken down in fireflies, produces heat and light. The rate a which luciferin is broken down In cells is controlled by:

1. A carbohydrate
2. A simple sugar
3. An enzyme
4. A complex fat

HELP ME ASAP! I NEED THE ANSWER NOW PLZZZZ!!!!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS!
THIS IS REGIONS SCIENCE!

Answer 1

Luciferin is broken down In cells is controlled by an enzyme.

Answer 2

Enzymes

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzymes are the biocatalyst that serves to speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering down the required activation energy. They are proteins and are not used up during the reactions. Breakdown of luciferin is also regulated by the enzyme. Carbohydrates and fats serve as energy source mainly. Simple sugar is also a carbohydrate and serves as an energy source.
