Answer:

e. water loss through evaporation across the respiratory surface can be minimized

Explanation:

<em>Exchange of gases, otherwise known as respiration is an important process in living organisms during which food material within the body is broken down to unlock their energies for the functioning of living organisms.</em>

During gaseous exchange, oxygen gas diffuses into respiratory tissues and dissolves on respiratory surfaces while carbon dioxide diffuses in the other direction.

Respiratory surfaces are usually thin walled with moist inner surfaces that enables the dissolution of gases. Depending on the atmospheric temperature, respiratory surfaces in terrestrial organisms are at varying risks of losing moisture to the atmosphere due to evaporation.

In aquatic organisms however, evaporation from respiratory surfaces is minimized as the immediate environment is water.

Options a to d are not entirely true about water and respiration.

The correct option is e.

How do enzymes influence the amount of activation energy needed?
ser-zykov [4K]

What your cells have to help overcome a problem of high activation energy are called enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that lower the activation energy of a reaction. In doing this, enzymes increase the rate of a reaction, helping it to occur faster. However, enzymes are not consumed in a reaction; they simply help it to occur.

Enzymes make things easier for your cells to work properly and help chemical reactions occur. There are hundreds of different kinds of enzymes in your cells, which all participate in different types of reactions. Enzymes can break molecules apart, build or add molecules, and even rearrange them.

In lowering the activation energy of a reaction, enzymes decrease the barrier to starting a reaction. It's important to note, however, that the change in energy remains the same between the start and end of a chemical reaction.
