<span>The Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) has a general function of controlling bodily functions such as homeostasis and the body's response during rest.
</span>
<span>The Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) on the other hand refers to the body's response to perceived danger.
</span>
Each of these result in different bodily responses.  In the case of the PNS these include: a decreased heart rate, bronchial tube constriction, relaxation of muscles and the constriction of th pupils.  When it comes to the SNS, these responses include: increased cardiovascular contraction (leading to an increased heart rate), dilation of the bronchial tubes, contraction of muscles and dilation of the pupils/

How do enzymes act as catalysts? (Choose ALL that apply) They allow for fewer collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates) The
vazorg [7]

Answer:

- They allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates)

- They lower the amount of activation energy needed to complete the reaction.

- They speed up chemical reactions to form more products

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteinous molecules that serves as catalyst in living systems. Like every other catalyst, enzymes function to SPEED UP the rate of biochemical reactions by LOWERING/REDUCING the activation energy, which is the energy required for a reactant to form product (completion of reaction).

Enzymes like other catalysts causes faster movement of molecules in the reaction i.e. they allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates). This causes the rate of reaction to increase and hence, speeden the reaction.
