The 7-month-old infant is accustomed to having the perineal area exposed and cared for and is not in a developmental stage in which fears related to sexuality are present. A "clean catch" at this age is often contaminated; therefore catheterization has been prescribed. The parents do have the right to refuse, but this concern is not realistic an infant of this age. The parent's concern is not appropriate for the developmental age of the infant.

How does an enzyme change the activation energy for a reaction in a cell?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "Enzyme lowers the activation energy".

Explanation:

The activation energy is defined as the amount of energy needed for a reaction to take place. Enzymes catalyze reactions by lowering the activation energy, which speeds up the reaction and increases its rate. Enzymes put a substrate in its active site, which facilitates the reaction and makes more likely that it collides with its subsequent substrate.
