Answer:

Biocatalyst

Explanation:

The metabolism or a chemical reaction is a characteristic feature of the living organisms to survive. The biological chemical reactions involve the formation of bond and bombarding of element atoms so takes time and becomes slow.

The living organism formed the protein molecules which could speed up the reactions called a catalyst.

The catalyst is the tertiary globular structures of proteins which possess a pore called active site to which the substrate binds temporarily as well as lowers the activation energy of the chemical reaction.

Thus, Biocatalyst is the correct answer.

Answer:

Enzyme

Explanation:

Some proteins have the ability to speed up the rate of chemical reactions. These proteins are called enzymes. Enzymes lower down the required activation energy for the reaction to occur. In this way, the presence of enzymes allows the reactions to occur at a fast rate even at lower temperatures. The enzymes are not consumed during the chemical reactions. Completion of one round of a reaction releases the products from the enzymes and enzymes become available for the next round of the reaction.

Which of the following is most easily changed to alter resistance?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Answer is C.

Explanation:

A. The vessel length is pretty much constant. The body can't length or shorten blood vessels.

B. Blood viscosity is also fairly constant because the composition of blood cannot change quickly enough to change resistance as needed.

C. This is the main way resistance is controlled. The smooth muscle surrounding blood vessels can rapidly respond to hormonal or metabolic stimuli and contract/relax to adjust diameter.

D. Again, temperature is fairly constant in the body and would not be a good way to alter resistance.
