<u>Answer</u>: Option A Pollution free environment increasing lichen growth.

<u>Explanation</u> :

  • The peppered moth has two varieties dark and light.
  • The difference in colour of these two moths is due to <em>industrial melanism</em> which resulted in the evolution of these moths.
  • Earlier, in a pollution free environment the moths were majorly light coloured as they could easily camouflage against the bark of the tree covered with lichen.
  • However, with industrialization the gases like suplhur dioxide killed the lichens covering the tree and hence, the moths evolved to be of darker color to easily camouflage against the now lichen free dark bark.

Thus, in a <em>pollution free environment </em>the lichen growth will <em>increase</em> and thus, the dark moths will find it difficult to camouflage and hence, <em>there population will decrease.</em>

List and describe three factors that affect how quickly enzymes can work to catalyze reactions
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - temperature, pH, substrate concentration.

Explanation:

Various factors affect the rate of enzymatic reaction such as pH, temperature, substrate concentration, availability of activators or inhibitors in the reactions, and enzyme concentration.

Temperature: Temperature affects the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Like most of the reactions with an increase in temperature rate of enzymatic reaction also rises up to a maximum level and then declines if the temperature continues to increase as enzyme denatures after a particular temperature.

pH: Similar to the temperature pH also increases the rate of reaction up to a maximum level and then declines the rate as every enzyme acts only at an optimum pH range.

Substrate concentration: If the substrate concentration is increased gradually while the concentration enzyme remains constant, the rate of reaction will increase until it reaches a maximum.
