They work like a catalyst. Enzymes help to speed up the rate of chemical reaction in the digestive system. They do this by decreasing the amount of activation energy required to start the reaction. Protease break down the protein, Amylase help to break down the carbohydrates and lipase break down fats into smaller components as food would be too big for us to swallow.

Firlakuza [10]
Answer – C. If the seed shape did not have a clearly dominant form
In doing his research on inheritance, Mendel studied seven different traits in peas, namely – height, flower color, seed color, and seed shape. Actually in Mendel’s study, seed shape had a very clear dominant form; having a smooth seed was a dominant trait and having a wrinkled seed was a recessive trait. If this clear dominant form could not be established, then Mendel’s experiment would have ceased to progress. Option B is not the answer because rate of reproduction was not one of the features that Mendel studied in the research. Options A and D are not the answers because they were the actual findings of the study.
