Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding enzymes?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

D) Enzymes make nonspontaneous reactions become spontaneous

Explanation:

Being spontaneous or non-spontaneous in nature depends on the difference in energy levels between substrates and products of the reactions. A reaction with substrates at higher energy levels than the products are spontaneous ones. On the other hand, the reactions wherein products have higher energy content than the substrates are non-spontaneous.  

Enzymes do not change the energy levels of substrates and products, so, they can not make a non-spontaneous reaction to become a spontaneous one. Enzymes only lower down the activation energy for a reaction and thereby make the non-spontaneous reaction to occur at a faster rate.

Bt corn is a genetically modified crop that contains a gene from another species. Which characteristic does this gene give the p
Angelina_Jolie [31]

The right answer is D.

The effectiveness of BT-Corn compared to conventional insecticide treatment  is very much higher:

* The plant itself produces the toxin that blocks the digestion of or target insects: the entire plant is protected where a treatment (out of neonicotinoids, very expensive and reserved to the seed treatment) allows only a protection of surface and must be renewed several times.

* The selectivity of the treatment is very superior: each variant of the BT molecule targets only a family of insects but we do not know the impact of their cumulative effects in the environment.
