Answer:
D) They can increase the reaction rate for a given reaction by a thousand-fold or more.
Explanation:
Enzymes are like catalysts with the only difference that they are bio-molecules. Biochemical/chemical reactions are slow because of 'transition state barriers' which require a lot of energy to overcome so enzymes rather than overcoming transition state barrier provide an alternate pathway for biochemical reactions which require comparatively less energy. Thus presence of an enzyme leads to an increase in reaction rate because alternate pathway which requires less energy makes the rate of chemical reaction rapid by a thousand-fold or more.
<span>The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a structure (formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole) with the function in the regulation of blood pressure and the filtration rate of the glomerulus. Its primary components are:

<span>The answer is nuclear imaging. A subject is asked to take in a radionuclide (radioactive
isotopes) and as the radioactive material passes though the body, it continually emits radiation that is detectable by an instrument such as a gamma camera. Examples of nuclear imaging
techniques are SPECT and PET.</span>
Answer:
The genetic material of most of the organism is Dexoxy-ribonucleic acid OR DNA which are formed of the monomer unit called nucleotide.
Each nucleotide is composed of a 5-C deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group and 4 types of nitrogenous bases mainly adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine.
It is the sequence of these nitrogenous bases which determine the fate of a cell as these nitrogenous bases are read by the ribosome in the form of triplets called codons where each codon codes for specific amino acids. These amino acids bind to each other via peptide bonds to form proteins.
Thus, these nitrogenous bases control the important property of the cell.
