How do enzymes affect the energy needed for getting a reaction going in the cell?

1 answer:

3 0

Enzymes are proteins that allow certain chemical reactions to take place much quicker than the reactions would occur on their own. Enzymes function as catalysts, which means that they speed up the rate at which metabolic processes and reactions occur in living organisms. Usually, the processes or reactions are part of a cycle or pathway, with separate reactions at each step. Each step of a pathway or cycle usually requires a specific enzyme. Without the specific enzyme to catalyze a reaction, the cycle or pathway cannot be completed.

Explain E.O. Wilson’s theory of Island Biogeography as it applies to environments other than islands physically surrounded by wa

Lena [83]

The theory was originally developed as island biogeography, to explain species richness of actual islands, principally oceanic. It proposes that the number of species found in an undisturbed insular environment is determined by immigration and extinction.

Explanation:

Wilson of Harvard, developed a theory of "island biogeography" to describe such uneven distributions. They suggested that the number of species on any island displays a balance within the rate at which new species establish it and the rate at which residents of secured species become extinct.
