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.

List and describe three factors that affect how quickly enzymes can work to catalyze reactions
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - temperature, pH, substrate concentration.

Explanation:

Various factors affect the rate of enzymatic reaction such as pH, temperature, substrate concentration, availability of activators or inhibitors in the reactions, and enzyme concentration.

Temperature: Temperature affects the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Like most of the reactions with an increase in temperature rate of enzymatic reaction also rises up to a maximum level and then declines if the temperature continues to increase as enzyme denatures after a particular temperature.

pH: Similar to the temperature pH also increases the rate of reaction up to a maximum level and then declines the rate as every enzyme acts only at an optimum pH range.

Substrate concentration: If the substrate concentration is increased gradually while the concentration enzyme remains constant, the rate of reaction will increase until it reaches a maximum.
