Venus flytraps produce chemicals that break down insects into usable compounds. These chemicals are most likely:

• Hormones
• Lipids
• Enzymes
• Carbohydrates

How do enzymes affect chemical reactions?

• Increased activation energy
• Decreased activation energy
• Increased energy change
• Decreased energy change

What is a valid conclusion based on the graph?

• Temperature influences an enzyme's activity rate.
• The maximum rate of human respiration occurs at about 57°C.
• Growth can be controlled by enzyme action.
• The maximum rate of human digestion occurs at about 45°C.

Why is maintenance of a constant blood pH critical for body processes?

• Blood with a high pH helps prevent cancer.
• Enzymes work best within a narrow pH range.
• The production of vitamin C by skin cells requires low pH values.
• Some bacteria thrive in very acidic conditions.
