Answer:

Covering electrical wires in plastic guarantees that the electrons flowing through the wires will not flow through your body when the wire is touched.

Explanation:

"The purpose of insulation covering the metal part of an electrical wire is to prevent accidental contact with other conductors of electricity, which might result in an unintentional electric current through those other conductors."

It is the precision aligning of enzymes essential for catalytic activity which is caused by the binding of the substrate as enzymes possess active sites. Hence, as the substrate approaches the enzymes, the enzyme alters its shape.

love history [14]

Answer:

Answer is option B . This is because water is said to be highly permeable to the underground soil and thus nourishes it , whereas capillary action will make the water flow upward sllowly , but the water is going underground so it is permeability. Also soil is porous too , but that's only if the water is in the soil , here the water is caused to go underground by some force , so porosity isnt the right option
