Enzymes are proteins that contains ribonucleic acid (RNA) .An enzyme binds to one or more reactant Molecule in order to catalyze a reaction.

Explanation:

1. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the Activation Energy, which allows the reaction to proceed much more quickly.

2. During an enzymatic reaction, a molecule of Substrate binds to the enzyme and is broken down into one or more molecules of  product, which are released.

3. The induced fit between an active site and its substrate often strains bonds and helps the reaction proceed

4. The specific location within an enzyme molecule where the substrate binds is called the Active site.

5. Lactose takes years to break down on its own. But if exposed to the protein lactase, the reaction proceeds very quickly, while lactase itself remains unchanged. Lactase is an example of an enzyme

6. High temperatures or changes in pH can an enzyme, causing it to lose its shape and biological activity. An  inhibitor  is a molecule that can bind to an enzyme and prevent the enzyme from working.

7. An enzyme is considered a Catalyst because it speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up.

Answer:

A biological community in which association takes place between the organisms and their physical surroundings is termed as an ecosystem. It can also be defined as an association between the nonliving and living components found within the environment. A particular geographical region, which is specified for the species thriving within it is known as a biome.  

A branch of science, which deals with the natural procedures that comprise fire within an ecosystem and the ecological influences it imparts, the association between the biotic and the abiotic constituents of an ecosystem with the fire, and the role played by fire within an ecosystem is termed as a fire ecology.  

Different kinds of ecosystems like savanna, prairie, coniferous forests and chaparral have originated by the contribution of the fire, which plays an essential role in the renewal and vitality of the habitat. Different kind of plant species needs the assistance of fire to establish, to reproduce, or to germinate. In case, if the suppression of wildfire takes place, it will eventually result in the eradication of various plant species and the animals that rely upon them.
