Answer: Option C - decomposers; they return biotic material to the abiotic component of the Earth

Explanation:

Decomposers are also known as SAPROPHYTES. They feed on and break down dead and decaying remains of plants and animals, thus enabling the release of certain compounds like ammonia, methane gas etc into the environment that then enrich/improve the soil fertility.

Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding enzymes?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

D) Enzymes make nonspontaneous reactions become spontaneous

Explanation:

Being spontaneous or non-spontaneous in nature depends on the difference in energy levels between substrates and products of the reactions. A reaction with substrates at higher energy levels than the products are spontaneous ones. On the other hand, the reactions wherein products have higher energy content than the substrates are non-spontaneous.  

Enzymes do not change the energy levels of substrates and products, so, they can not make a non-spontaneous reaction to become a spontaneous one. Enzymes only lower down the activation energy for a reaction and thereby make the non-spontaneous reaction to occur at a faster rate.
