Answer: D: Enzymes increased the rate of the chemical reactions carried out during metabolism.

Explanation:

Energy production in the cell requires the participation of many enzymes in a process called energy metabolism. Many of these reactions occur very slowly in the absence of a catalyst (a substance that accelerates the speed of chemical reactions). To solve this problem, cells have developed a way to accelerate the speed of reactions. In this context arise the enzymes that are the biological catalysts. Most enzymes are globular proteins. They have specificity (preference) both for their substrates (the molecule that will undergo the chemical reaction) and for the type of reaction on the substrate.

An ecologist wants to know if diversity in a forest system is likely to decrease when an invasive species is introduced. This in

Alona [7]

Answer:

A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to oak.

Explanation:

An invasive species is the one which is non-native to the given ecosystem. Its growth hampers balanced ecological parameters and disturbs food web as well as normal flora.The overall effect of invasive species is decreasing biodiversity in selected ecosystem. As the ecologist needs to understand effect of this invasive species, firstly it is important to understand the transition of oak tress to invasive form. The transition rate is one of the deciding factor to introduce diversity in ecosystem. Also if the invasive form has the ability to revert back to original oak tress it would restore the original ecosystem. Thus a model in which oak has a positive transition rate to invasive and the invasive has a position transition to oak can be selected for the analysis. In other models, the final trnasition to grass would introduce lot of biodiversity in selected ecosystem which would be of little importance to understand transition rate.
