What your cells have to help overcome a problem of high activation energy are called enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that lower the activation energy of a reaction. In doing this, enzymes increase the rate of a reaction, helping it to occur faster. However, enzymes are not consumed in a reaction; they simply help it to occur.

Enzymes make things easier for your cells to work properly and help chemical reactions occur. There are hundreds of different kinds of enzymes in your cells, which all participate in different types of reactions. Enzymes can break molecules apart, build or add molecules, and even rearrange them.

In lowering the activation energy of a reaction, enzymes decrease the barrier to starting a reaction. It's important to note, however, that the change in energy remains the same between the start and end of a chemical reaction.

Enzymes are catalysts, they decrease activation energy to speed up reactions

Which one of the following is a major difference between the circulatory systems of earthworms and fish?

labwork [276]

<span>a. Fish have a single central heart; earthworms have several hearts.

</span>
Multi cellular organisms are made up of billions of cells each specialized to a unique role and these cells are organized into structural and functional units such as tissues and organs.
For each cell and organ to function optimally, it requires oxygen and nutrients and needs carbon dioxide and metabolic waste taken away in a continuous, never ending process.
<span>A mechanism is needed to accomplish the important function of transporting the relevant materials to and from the cell. The circulatory system fits this bill splendidly. It is a specialized organ system which allows blood and lymph to flow through the entire body carrying nutrients such as glucose, amino acids and electrolytes as well as oxygen to each cell, at the same time carting away carbon dioxide and all sorts of metabolic waste over to excretory organs to be expelled from the body.

What happens durning prophase

Crank

This is the first stage of mitosis and meiosis whereby the specialized cell is undergoing, cell division.

The nuclear envelope starts to break down

The chromosomes start to condense during this phase, from being loose to being tight, held together at the middle.

The mitotic spindles start forming, as well from the spindle apparatus.

Brainliest please.

Volgvan

Answer: :Total distance to be travelled = 4.4 km

= 4400 m

Diameter of wheel = 70 cm = 0.7 m

Radius of wheel= 0.7 / 2 m

Circumference of wheel = 2 * pi *r

= 2* 22*0.7 / 7* 2

= 22*0.1

= 2.2 m

No. Of revolutions = Total distance / Circumference of wheel

= 4400 / 2.2

= 2000
