Answer:
The rate would increase.
Explanation:
Activation energy is the energy needed for a chemical reaction to start while the rate of reaction is how a reactant turns into the product. Catalysts are used to speeden up the rate of a chemical reaction.
The catalyst do this by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur, leading to the increase in the rate at which the same reaction occurs. It should be noted that a catalyst is not a reactant, neither does it get used up in the chemical reaction. It just provides an alternative energy pathway with a reduced activation energy, hereby, helping the reaction to proceed faster than it would without the catalyst.
They both use a reproductive strategy called alternation of generations, where there are two different reproducing morphologies: a diploid sporophyte, and a haplod gametophyte. The sporophyte produces spores by meiosis (2N -> N), which disperse and form the gametophyte, which produces gametes by mitosis (N ->N). Two of those gametes fuse to create a diplod zygote (N + N -> 2N), which becomes the new sporophyte
There are differences between the two types of plants, especially the relative size of the sporophytes and gametophytes, but they both use this kind of reproductive strategy.
I attached the pic. NH2 is amine group, COOH is carboxyl group.
