The correct answer is option (D) A sandwich is digested and converted to carbon dioxide and water.
Digestion is a catabolic process of breakdown of complex food substances into simpler nutrients releasing energy. In the process of digestion of a sandwich, the carbohydrates are broken down into simpler sugars in presence of enzymes releasing water, carbon dioxide and energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This ATP is the reserved energy currency and also used for the growth, repair and replacement of cells.
To Identify Parenchyma and Sclerenchyma Tissues in Plants. ... As the cells have a thickened cell wall, little protoplasm, and no nucleus, we can confirm that the slide contains sclerenchyma tissues. To Identify Striated Muscle Fibres and Nerve Cells in Animals.
Answer:
- They allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates)
- They lower the amount of activation energy needed to complete the reaction.
- They speed up chemical reactions to form more products
Explanation:
Enzymes are proteinous molecules that serves as catalyst in living systems. Like every other catalyst, enzymes function to SPEED UP the rate of biochemical reactions by LOWERING/REDUCING the activation energy, which is the energy required for a reactant to form product (completion of reaction).
Enzymes like other catalysts causes faster movement of molecules in the reaction i.e. they allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates). This causes the rate of reaction to increase and hence, speeden the reaction.
Runoff in neighborhoods can be a problem because as the water runs it can collect pollutants such as oil, pesticides, bacteria, etc. These pollutants can end up in our drinking water or can run into our fishing supply and even our swimming water... I wouldn't want to be swimming or eating fish that was swimming in pesticides and bacteria.
