Many exergonic reactions fail to happen at a reasonable rate (e.g. conversion of diamonds to charcoal). This is due to the fact

that their activation energy may be too high to overcome. Which of the following correctly describes the reason for this?
A. The free energy of the transition state is much lower than the free energy of the reactants.

B. The free energy of the transition state is much higher than the free energy of the reactants.

C. The enzyme that catalyzes the reaction needs time to interact chemically with the substrate(s).

D. The interaction between the enzyme and substrate(s) involve a decrease in entropy, which can’t happen without an input of energy.

Answer: Option b

Explanation:In chemistry,

before any reaction would occurs, reactat must be able to overcome some certain amount of energy which is called the activation. The activation energy is usually the heat that is suppled.it is also refered to as the minimum energy needed before any reaction can take place. For reaction to take place, there must be an equilibrium( at constant temperature and pressure.

A cellular structure that can be found in each type of cell that is unique to each type of cell, but that has a similar function
34kurt

Answer

Complex barrier to the flow of substances out of the cells,and restrictions to inflow of unwanted substances into the cells. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature of the cell membrane controls the entry of substances from the extracellular medium into the intracellualr. In addition the polarity restricts certain substance movement across the walls.

Serve as the selective channels  for the  influx of certain substances into the cells, and the out flux of wastes.This is through ion channels for the movements of ions across.

Provide insulation to the cells,to maintain the constant internal temperature,this is through the presence of lipids as( Phospholipids and cholesterol).The latter prevent the clogging of the lipids in the cell membrane therefore preventing frozen up of the cell membrane,providing insulation.

Separation of metabolic process in the cell.

Explanation:

Cell membrane-This is present in all cells.But the variation of its constituents makes it unique to each cell. Although it performs the same role, the location and role the cells it bounded, reflects its  constituents, it is made up of lipids, carbohydrate, protein and cholesterol

nergy used by the body to perform muscular contractions is called adenosine diphosphate, or ADP.TrueFalse
olga2289 [7]

The answer is false.

Energy used by the body to perform muscular contractions and many other energy-required functions is adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

The most important function of ATP is its ability to store and transport chemical energy within cells. That energy can be used for many chemical processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, chemical synthesis.. When consumed in metabolic processes as an energy source, it becomes converted either to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) because one or two phosphate groups are released (hydrolysis of high-energy bonds).

Since ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate it can be used for the synthesis of nucleic acids.

Discuss 2 ways in which efforts to protect species can lead to controversy
Crazy boy [7]

Protection of certain species is a very controversial topic. Many species like the mountain lion or jaguar that are near extinction in certain areas, are threats to human life. Another reason is that they could off set the food chain when they come back and be stonger than ever. For example the mountian lion could eat out the thriving white tail deer population which was struggling because of the mountain lion. And many people rely on white tail deer for food.

Hope this helped :)
