Prions are misfolded versions of normal proteins that can cause diseases. So the correct option is D.

<h3>What leads to prion disease? </h3>

A misfolded confirmation of proteins is called Prions. These misfolded proteins can result in harmful functional proteins and cause several diseases.

A prion is the type of protein that usually cause the normal proteins in the brain to fold in an abnormal manner. This results in misfolding of proteins in the brain.

Prion diseases are known to affect both humans and animals. Sometimes, humans get prion diseases by consumption of by meat from infected animals.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is the most common prion disease in humans. The occurrence of prion diseases is rare. In the US, about 300 cases are reported every year.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

The speed at which the reactants change to products over a given time.

Explanation:

A chemical's <u>reaction rate</u><u> is the change in the concentration of a reactant or a product with time (in moles per second)</u>.

Remember that during a chemical reaction, reactants are converted to products. Or what is the same, products are formed at the expense of reactants. This can be represented:

reactants → products

Therefore,<u> the progress of a reaction can be followed measuring the decrease in concentration of the reactants or the increase in concentration of the products.</u>

According to the temperature and other parameters, the reaction rate can increase or decrease.
