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.

Solnce55 [7]
1. <span>The North Star, or Polaris, is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor, the little bear (also known as the Little Dipper). As viewed by observers in the Northern Hemisphere, Polaris occupies a special place. The point in the night sky where the projection of the earth's axis lies is known as the North Celestial Pole (NCP). As the earth rotates on its axis (once every 24 hours), the stars in the northern sky appear to revolve around the NCP. Polaris lies roughly one half degree from the NCP, so this particular star appears to remain stationary hour after hour and night after night.                     2.</span>
