Scientists are concerned that this technology may backfire. Explain what they mean.

Asolution of an enzyme and a substrate was placed in a water bath and the temperature of the reaction was raised gradually. the graph shown was plotted at the end of the experiment. what can be concluded from the graph? a) temperature has no effect on the activity of the enzyme. b) the effect of temperature on the enzyme is unpredictable. c) the enzyme shows increased activity up to a certain temperature. d) the activity of the enzyme is inversely proportional to the temperature.

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.

Which of these is an example of land degradation? a. containers designed to store pollutants leak. b. fertilizers provide too many nutrients to crops. c. garbage is buried so the land can be reclaimed later. d. a drought kills all the plants in an area, leaving bare land
