Catalysts can speed chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy 
kondor19780726 [428]3 years ago

Answer:

By lowering down the activation energy.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the energy required to transform the substrate into the high energy state that is eventually converted into the product. High energy requirement in the form of activation energy does not allow the reactions to occur at a higher rate under room temperature.  

Catalysts are the substances that speed up the chemical reaction by lowering down the activation energy. The reduced energy requirement allows the reactions to occur at higher rates in presence of catalysts.

What dies survivor ship curve mean? What an easy way to remember what it means?
vredina [299]
Survivorship curve = so, first of all, it's a curve, as in a graph.

It describes "survivorship" - the rate of survival, in other words: out of 100 organisms that are born, how many survive. This rate is different among species, for example, most humans live out to most of their life span, and almost all can survive well beyond a reproductive age.

However, in frogs for example, many many individuals are born, but only few can survive to adulthood: most die very young, before reproductive age.

So if you hear about a new species: let's say dogs, and you want to know how long they would live, you would look at their sirvivorship curve (and in some breeds of dogs, those that are likely not to be in shelters, but in homes, the survivorship curve would be similar as in humans: almost all individuals born can live long.
