Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The energy needed to get a chemical reaction started is called ____
A
initial energy
B
activation energy
C
starter energy
D
promoter energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Activation energy is the minimum energy required to cause a process (such as a chemical reaction) to occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -Activation Energy All chemical reactions need energy to get started. Even reactions that release energy need a boost of energy in order to begin. The energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called activation energy. Activation energy is like the push a child needs to start going down a playground slide.

Detailed explanation-3: -The substances that go into a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the substances produced at the end of the reaction are known as the products.

Detailed explanation-4: -In most biological reactions, some energy must be invested to start the reaction. This energy is called activation energy. As stated, even an exothermic reaction that releases energy will need some activation energy to begin. This energy allows the reactants to collide so the bonds can break and make.
