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.

What are formed through long periods of chemical weathering and erosion by water.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Sometimes, chemical weathering dissolves large portions of limestone or other rock on the surface of the Earth to form a landscape called karst. In these areas, the surface rock is pockmarked with holes, sinkholes, and caves. The water transforms anhydrite into gypsum, one of the most common minerals on Earth.

During upwelling, nutrient-rich water rises to the surface. How would this most likely affect the biotic components of the ecosy
hodyreva [135]

Answer: Increase in species numbers and diversity

Explanation:

Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomena in which the water from the bottom layers of the ocean usually above the seafloor get displaced and reach upto the surface layers with the effect of wind currents. The water carries away along with it the nutrients and the organic matter to the surface layers which allows the efficient growth of plant and planktonic diversity which favors the growth of sea animals like fishes and others. Hence, by this way the species diversity and numbers increases by the process of upwelling.
