Similarities:
They contain nematocyst (cells that sting)
some are sessil/free swimming
Some corals have a symbiotic relationship with algae, they need to grow in shallow waters so that light can penetrate for the algae to photosynthesize.
Yes, quite frankly it is possible to find a same gene if you're in the same class of species, but finding the protein....I believe that's impossible because in every type of gene, you have the same proteins that make you function the same way. Without them you wouldn't be able to function properly.
If I found the same gene in all organisms that I've tested, I would be intrigued because that would be a giant step in evolution. My reason for this answer is because if you have the same gene that would technically mean we all specifically came from the same species of animals.
No, that's not true because other characteristics would eventually help us in many things, studies would help us get our brain much stronger and the intelligence level would be extraordinary.
The right answer is the activation energy.
The catalyst increases the reaction rate by introducing new reaction paths (mechanism), and lowering its activation energy, or activation Gibbs free energy. By doing this it can increase the speed, or lower the temperature of the reaction. It is important to note that the catalyst does not alter the total Gibbs free energy of the reaction which is a system state function and therefore has no effect on the equilibrium constant.
Peripheral would be the answer
