In a biochemical reaction, an enzyme acts as a catalyst, causing the
(1) activation energy of the reaction to decrease
(2) potential energy of the reactants to decrease
(3) kinetic energy of the reactants to increase
(4) heat of reaction to increase

Describe the chemical reaction based on the chemical equation below. also, explain whether the equation is balanced.

How many molecules are in 6.0 moles of methane

Consider a culture medium on which only gram-positive organisms such as staphylococcus aureus colonies can grow due to an elevated nacl level. a yellow halo surrounds the growth, indicating the bacterium fermented a sugar in the medium, decreasing the ph as a result and changing the color of a ph indicator chemical. this type of medium would be referred to as a differential and enrichment culture.
