1. The answer is "<span>the energy required to start the reaction".
</span>This energy is called as activation energy of the reaction. If the activation
energy is high, reaction is slow. Enzymes help to carry out the reaction by
a new path by reducing the activation energy. But the energy of reactants
and the products remain as same as without enzyme.
2. The answer is "reaction in cells would be too slow to sustain life<span>".
</span>If the activation energy is very high for the reaction, then that reaction will
be very slow and will require more time<span> to complete the reaction. Then survival is
very low. Hence, the roll of enzymes is very important to sustain life.</span>
Answer: Those which can adapt and withstand the high acidity levels of water.
The pond slowly becomes more acidic due to release of chemicals from a nearby factory. The chemicals released are acidic and toxic which will cause biomagnification in the pond water. Those organisms which can withstand the high acidic pH of water will survive. Others which can undergo adaptations can also survive.
Im not sure but i believe it could be C
Biosphere- where living things exist
hydro- referring to just the water
geosphere-referring to entire thing
atmosphere- the gases in the air
