Well, you don't need enzymes (biological catalysts) if you're willing to wait a century or two to digest a burger.

Without catalysts, complex reactions like digestion would take too long and the organism could not extract energy from the nutrients it eats in a practical time frame.

In addition, speed is everything in the biological world.

Some reactions and their speed relative to other organisms reactions determines who survives and who doesn't, among other aspects of life.

If a plant is slow to photosynthesize and grow in a habitat high in competition for sunlight real estate, other autotrophs will surely take over.

Suppose that a certain fortunate person has a net worth of $77.0 billion ($). If her stock has a good year and gains $3.20 billi
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

New net worth to three significant figures = $80.2 billion

Dollars are given to charity = $100,250,000

Explanation:

Net worth = $77.0 billion

stock Gains = $3.20 billion

New net worth = $77.0 billion + $3.20 billion = $80.20 billion

New net worth to three significant figures = $80.2 billion

One-eighth of a percent = (1/8 x 1) / 100 = 0.00125

Dollars are given to charity = 0.00125 X $80.2 billion = $100,250,000

Or

$80,200,000,000/100 = $802,000,000

swat32

Answer:

The SI units for measuring the velocity of the car: meters per second (m/s)

The Sl units for measuring the acceleration of the car: meters per second squared  (m/s^2)

The SI units for measuring force:  Newton (N)

The SI units for measuring mass: kilograms (kg)

Explanation:

Système international (SI) or International System of Units consist of a list of unit measurement that mostly used by scientist. The scientist from a different country might use different unit that makes them have to convert the result of each other. The usage of the same unit measurement will help the scientist to read that publication easier, make it easier to share and discuss any topic. The unit used is metric since the decimal system also makes the conversion of a unit easier.
