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.

What does AS> O mean?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

ΔS> 0 means Letter A

Explanation:

Processes that involve an increase in entropy of the system (ΔS > 0) are very often spontaneous; however, examples to the contrary are plentiful. By expanding consideration of entropy changes to include the surroundings, we may reach a significant conclusion regarding the relation between this property and spontaneity. In thermodynamic models, the system and surroundings comprise everything, that is, the universe, and so the following is true:

\displaystyle \Delta {S}_{\text{univ}}=\Delta {S}_{\text{sys}}+\Delta {S}_{\text{surr}}
