That would be catalysts.
Catalysts accelerate (speed up) chemical reactions without damaging itself. They do this by decreasing the activation energy of a chemical reaction.
Enzymes are a type of catalysts.
Answer:
c. Recycling glass is an energy-saving practice.
Explanation:
I think because more energy is saved that way and makes it more effective than the rest of the choices.
A common theme in biology is that energy flows through biological systems while matter IS RECYCLED. Energy and matter are not destroyed in the ecosystem. The energy is transformed and the matter is recycled. In a food web, the food is transferred from one organism to another in different forms. this shows that the same molecules and atoms are recycled as the same molecule is used by one organism and then transferred to the second organism.
he carbon cycle is the circulation and transformation of carbon back and forth between living things and the environment. Carbon is an element, something that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. Other examples of elements are oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, iron, and hydrogen. Carbon compounds are present in living things like plants and animals and in nonliving things like rocks and soil. Carbon compounds can exist as solids (such as diamonds or coal), liquids (such as crude oil), or gases (such as carbon dioxide). Carbon is often referred to as the "building block of life" because living things are based on carbon and carbon compounds.
The Carbon CycleSource: NASAClick to enlarge
The amount of carbon on the earth and in Earth's atmosphere is fixed, but that fixed amount of carbon is dynamic, always changing into different carbon compounds and moving between living and nonliving things. Carbon is released to the atmosphere from what are called "carbon sources" and stored in plants, animals, rocks, and water in what are called "carbon sinks." This process occurs in a number of steps. In the first step, through photosynthesis (the process by which plants capture the sun's energy and use it to grow), plants take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and release oxygen. The carbon dioxide is converted into carbon compounds that make up the body of the plant, which are stored in both the aboveground parts of the plants (shoots and leaves), and the belowground parts (roots). In the next step, animals eat the plants, breath in the oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide created by animals is then available for plants to use in photosynthesis. Carbon stored in plants that are not eaten by animals eventually decomposes after the plants die, and is either released into the atmosphere or stored in the soil.
Large quantities of carbon can be released to the atmosphere thr
