Life depends on biochemical reactions, metabolism, functions and growth of a healthy human body.
A
TRUE
B
FALSE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chemical reactions that take place inside living things are called biochemical reactions. The sum of all the biochemical reactions in an organism is referred to as metabolism. Metabolism includes both exothermic (heat-releasing) chemical reactions and endothermic (heat-absorbing) chemical reactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Within biological systems there are six major classes of biochemical reactions that are mediated by enzymes. These include group transfer reactions, the formation/removal of carbon-carbon double bonds, isomerization reactions, ligation reactions, hydrolysis reactions, and oxidation-reduction reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biochemical reactions in the human body are the basis of all body processes. Biochemical reactions are responsible for providing energy to the body as well as many other important bodily functions. Some examples of biochemical reactions that occur in the body are redox reactions, such as oxidation and reduction.
