7 0

The statement that describes the function of a catalyst is that it speeds up a chemical reaction (option D).

<h3>What is a catalyst?</h3>

A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.

A catalyst can also be said to speed up the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to start.

Therefore, the statement that describes the function of a catalyst is that it speeds up a chemical reaction.

adelina 88 [10]

I believe it is because the glass has a smaller coefficient of linear expansion than the water. The glass undergoes thermal expansion and thus when it heats up, it expands and when it cools down it contracts. The inside and the outside of the glass does not reach an equilibrium temperature very quickly since the glass has a low thermal conductivity. The surface of the glass rapidly contracts while the inner surface is expanding which causes the glass to crack.

How does an enveloped virus gain/obtain/get its envelope?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The envelope come from the host cell membrane as the virus leaves the host cell

Explanation:

A virus is an organism that is incapable of replicating on its own without infecting a living host. A virus consists of a genetic material (DNA or RNA) , a protein coat called CAPSID, and sometimes some viruses possess an envelope, which is an outer covering or enclosure. Viruses that possess this envelope are referred to as ENVELOPED VIRUS.

The virus lacks the ability to produce any structure, hence, they gain this envelope made of phospholipid from the cell membrane of the host they infect. During the infection cycle of a virus, a process called budding enables a portion of the host's plasma membrane to cover or encapsulate the virion cells, hence, making them enveloped in the process.
