Answer:

Option B, to act as a catalyst in chemical reactions

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic bio molecules that act as catalyst to increases the rate of a bio-chemical reaction involved in any biological process. All enzymes are made of amino acids and have suffix -ase at the end of their name.

For example -

Enzyme Amylase catalyses the chemical processes involved in the digestion of sugar in mouth. It increases the rate of conversion of  starch molecules into smaller glucose and maltose molecules.

Thus, option B is correct

Enzymes acts as a catalyst in chemical reactions to speed up the rate of reaction.

Enzymes are not necessarily needed because substrates can disintegrate on their own, but enzymes are helpful to aid this process.

Metamorphic rocks that don’t have layers
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer;

-Non-foliated metamorphic rocks

-Metamorphic rocks that don’t have layers are called non-foliated metamorphic rocks.

Explanation;

-Metamorphic rocks are rocks that go through heat and pressure and change form. They can be formed by pressures deep inside the Earth, by tectonic processes such as continental collisions, or when they are heated up by an intrusion of hot molten rock called magma from the Earth's interior.

-Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure, they include rocks such as gneiss, phyllite, schist, and slate.

-On the other hand,Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a layered or banded appearance, they include rocks such as hornfels, marble, quartzite, and novaculite.

There are more hydrogen atoms in living organisms than any other atom, but oxygen is more abundant in terms of mass. Why is this
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Hydrogen and oxygen are often found in the form of H2O but even if hydrogen surpasses oxygène in number it doesn't when it comes to mass because M(O) = approximately x16 M(H)

how do the strategically placed covalent and hydrogen bonds present in dna facilitate the functioning of the molecule
Sergio [31]
<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
  • DNA is a double stranded molecule. Covalent and hydrogen bonds pray important roles in the functioning of DNA molecules.
  • <em><u>Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the nucleotide bases, sugars, and phosphate groups occurring both within each component and between components.</u></em>
  • <em><u> Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.</u></em>
  • Hydrogen bonds helps the complementary base pairs in DNA; guanine with cytosine and adenine with thymine to connect to one another. The hydrogen bonds between these complementary pairs helps keep the two strands of DNA helix together.
