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.

Which of the following samples would be the most compressible?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

CO2 (g)

Explanation:

In solids the interatomic or intermolecular space is least . It is most pronounced in gases . That is why inter molecular or interatomic attraction is least in gases . That is why gas flows .

Hence , when we try to compress a gas , due to inter molecular space , it is most likely to get compressed . It will be least compressed when we try to compress a solid because of lack of intermolecular space .
