How does a catalyst work?

Biology

BartSMP [9]3 years ago

A catalyst can be defined as the substance, which helps to increase the rate of a chemical reaction without undergoing any permanent chemical change itself. A catalyst increases the rate of the chemical reactions by decreasing the activation energy of the concerned reactions. The activation energy can be defined as the minimum amount of energy which is necessarily required for a a reaction to start. When the activation energy is decreased, the chemical reaction can proceed at a faster rate.

Hence, the answer is 'by decreasing the activation energy of a reaction'.

How does the structure of the muscle cell help it carry out its function? <br>plz answer​
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Different types of cells shapes effect the function of the cells. Muscle cells are shaped like they are because they have to perform a certain function to meet the critia of what the body is telling it what to do.

Explanation:

Skeletal muscle cells are located in a bundle of linear fibers. These are thin chains of the proteins actin and myosin that cause muscle contraction. The elongated shape of muscle cells allows contractile proteins to place themselves in an overlapping pattern that allows muscle flexion.

Where dose mass of a willow tree come from
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

So where does the mass come from? The mass of a tree is primarily carbon. The carbon comes from carbon dioxide used during photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert the sun's energy into chemical energy which is captured within the bonds of carbon molecules built from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

Hope it helps! Correct me if I am wrong :>

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?
atroni [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is The process of photosynthesis is energy storing reaction because the process converts light energy into chemical energy which is stored in the bonds of glucose.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is an important pathway occur in the mesophyll tissue of leaves of plants . Photosynthesis helps in formation of glucose molecule that is stored as polysaccharide starch inside the plant"s body.

       During photosynthesis light energy is captured from sun by the antenna complex of photosystem then the light energy is transferred to the reaction center for its conversion into chemical energy in form of ATP molrcules.

     The so formed ATP molecules helps in the biosynthesis of glucose by various enzyme catalyzed reactions.
