Advantage Discrete Steps Cell Respiration Reduces Ea Requirements

Discrete steps in cellular respiration reduce activation energy requirements, allowing reactions to occur at normal body temperatures, and also ensure that released energy is captured by carriers rather than lost as heat.

Front advantage of having discrete steps in cell respiration
Back reduces Ea requirements (Ea reachable at normal core body temp.), released energy is not lost as heat (transferred to carriers via redox reactions)
