What are catalysts? What's their function?

Biology

Alex Ar [27]3 years ago

Catalysts work by providing an alternative mechanism involving a different transition state and lower activation energy. Consequently, more molecular collisions have the energy needed to reach the transition state. Hence, catalysts can enable reactions that would otherwise be blocked or slowed by a kinetic barrier.

Answer:

A catalyst is a substance that can be added to a reaction to increase the reaction rate without getting consumed in the process. Catalysts typically speed up a reaction by reducing the activation energy or changing the reaction mechanism. Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions.

A volleyball player depends on the gastrocnemius muscles for plantar flexion, whereas a marathon runner depends more on the sole
Valentin [98]

The soleus muscle is mainly used for pushing off the ground while walking. It is important for activities such as walking and running. This muscle also helps in maintaining a person’s posture by preventing the person from falling forward. Thus, this muscle is more often used by marathon runners.

The accumulation of ____________allowed organisms to grow larger.
FinnZ [79.3K]

       The right answer to this question is option A. O2 in the atmosphere.

       The main reason why it's a true that organisms would grow larger than we have today with more oxygen available is pretty simple to understand, their respiratory systems were smaller than we have today, and even though it was a small one, it was enough because of the higher presence and concentration of O2 in the atmosphere.

        Some studies were held nowadays to check this possibility, to see if the O2 was the real main reason for this, and the animals used in it really grew bigger than usual, so by that, they confirmed their hypothesis by testing it.
