Describe two functions of a catalyst in terms of cause & effect

Biology
1 answer:
Talja [164]3 years ago
7 0
A catalyst modifies (increase) the rate at which a reaction occurs, by decreasing the activation energy (the energy of the transition state).

The use of a catalyst permits:

- to obtaing higher rates of reaction
- to decrease the temperature needed to get a determined rate of reaction.

In both cases the cause is the lower activation energy, the effects are higher rates of reaction and / or lower temperature.

Higher rates of reaction are important because it is directly related to the productivity.

Lower temperatures are important because the determine the materials of the reactors and the safety devices needed to work.

What is the main product or purpose of photosynthesis?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel.

Pain-sensitive neurons (called nociceptors) conduct action potentials from the skin or teeth to sites in the brain involved in p
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

In the gums

Explanation:

Lidocaine is a compound which can be used as a local anaesthetic. This anaesthesia works by blocking the voltage-gated channels which allows the influx of the sodium ions. As the sodium ions do not enter therefore an action potential is not generated in the axons as a result of which no pain is felt in the area.

In the given since the lidocaine is used by the dentist therefore the dentist in order to treat some dental problem must inject the lidocaine in the gums where the sensory receptors of the teeth are present.

Thus, in the gums is the correct answer.

Describe ONE similarity in the interaction between receptor: hormone , antibody: antigen, enzyme: substrate ? PLEASE HELP
nlexa [21]
All mentioned complexes (receptor-hormone, antibody-antigen, enzyme-substate) are involved in a molecular recognition.The molecular recognition involves <span>non-covalent </span> interaction between molecules. To form complex, molecules must be complementary in shape and charges, and usually, they are compared to key and lock. This way, the selectivity and specificity of recognition between molecules are assured.
