Answer:

The freezing of water into ice causes the cracks to widen because it occupy more space.

Explanation:

When the water change its state of liquid to solid state due to decrease in temperature, it contracts means occupy less space but when the temperature reaches to 4 degree Celsius, it starts to expand. When the temperature goes below 0 degree Celsius, it will cause more expansion and occupy more space that causes the cracks to widen.

Write the simple equation that describes the action of the enzyme catalase.

Nataly [62]

Here we have to write a simple equation which describes the action of the enzyme catalase.

The equation is: The concentration of the complex [ES] = $\frac{[E]0}{1+\frac{Km}{[S]} }$

Let us consider an enzyme catalyses reaction E + S ⇄ ES → E + P

Where E, S, ES and P are enzyme, substrate, complex and product respectively.

The concentration of the complex [ES] = $\frac{[E]0}{1+\frac{Km}{[S]} }$ , where $K_{m}$ is the Michaelis constant.

[E]₀ and [S] is the initial concentration of enzyme and concentration of substrate respectively.
