While Louis Pasteur was the one that procured the germ theory of disease that explains that diseases are caused by microorganisms, the first researcher that provided direct experimental data to support the said theory is Robert Koch. 

Robert Koch developed a criteria for the causality of disease from microorganisms called the Koch's postulates. The Koch's postulates indicate that:

(1) The bacteria must be present in every case of the disease
(2) <span>The bacteria must be extracted and isolated from the host with the disease and should be directly visualized and/or grown in culture
(3) There must be a healthy experimental host that will reproduce the disease once the isolated bacteria is injected
(4) The bacteria should be recoverable from the previously healthy host

Which one of the following statements is true of enzyme catalysts? A) Their catalytic activity is independent of pH. B) They are
muminat

Answer:

D) They can increase the reaction rate for a given reaction by a thousand-fold or more.

Explanation:

Enzymes are like catalysts with the only difference that they are bio-molecules. Biochemical/chemical reactions are slow because of 'transition state barriers' which require a lot of energy to overcome so enzymes rather than overcoming transition state barrier provide an alternate pathway for biochemical reactions which require comparatively less energy. Thus presence of an enzyme leads to an increase in reaction rate because alternate pathway which requires less energy makes the rate of chemical reaction rapid by a thousand-fold or more.
