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.

Prokaryote's ability to regulate patterns of gene expression most likely promotes the organism's survival by ________.a) allowin

Olin [163]

Answer:

c) allowing an organism to adjust to changes in environmental conditions

Explanation:

A stimulus can be defined as any change in the external or internal environment that produces a corresponding response in the organism. These responses enable the organism to maintain an internal equilibrium (homeostasis). Gene expression in prokaryotes, which are the simplest forms of life, is highly regulated by environmental stimuli. Some examples of stimuli known to regulate gene expression patterns in prokaryotic organisms are light, water, pressure, temperature, etc.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Mammals evolved from a group of reptiles called the synapsids. These reptiles arose during the Pennsylvanian Period (310 to 275 million years ago). A branch of the synapsids called the therapsids appeared by the middle of the Permian Period (275 to 225 million years ago)
