Answer:
<em><u>D. The first flowering plants were introduced toward the end of the Mesozoic era.</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
Explanation:
Following the Paleozoic Era, the Mesozoic Era or <em>Age of Conifers</em> began approximately 250 million years ago. This major geological era brought about the ancestors of many of the plant and animal groups still in existence today.
The Mesozoic era is marked by 3 divisions:
- the Triassic Period,
- the Jurassic Period,
- and the Cretaceous Period.
Animals and plants slowly recovered after the mass extinction in the Permian-Triassic extinction that led to the eradication of most aquatic marine species. They evolved to exploit varying niches in their environment, leading to a boom in terrestrial animals. Over time the planet's increasingly warm climate, abundant in atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide, contributed to the growth of diverse megaflora, that rapidly dominated the planet's terrestrial biosphere.
By the end of the <em>Mesozoic Era</em>, in the Cretaceous period, flowering plants (angiosperms) largely replaced the dominant seed ferns of the <em>Triassic</em>, and the conifers, cycads and gymnosperms of the <em>Jurassic</em>.
<em>Varied dispersal mechanisms in angiosperms co-evolved with the evolution of certain types of fauna. Plants used animal life, including herbivorous reptiles and early mammal-like species to disperse large seeds.</em>

Answer:
Rate of product formation is linear and [S] has not been lowered significantly.
Explanation:
The rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions is affected by several factors, the contraction of substrates [S] is one of them. The substrate concentration keeps on changing as the reaction proceeds. This is why the reaction rate is measured at the initial stages of reactions when the substrate concentration [S] is much greater than the concentration of the enzyme. It is called the initial rate or initial velocity.
Under the conditions of higher substrate concentration and relatively much lower enzyme concentrations, only a few molecules of substrates are being converted into product. At a relatively higher substrate concentration, the rate of product formation increases linearly.
