A scientist genetically engineered a grain cereal. The genetically engineered variety can produce its own vitamins and is drought resistant. What is the likely impact of growing such a cereal crop on the society? a
May trigger an adverse climate change

b
May worsen the water crisis around the world

c
Would be beneficial for the malnourished population--giving them needed vitamins and nutrients

d
Would increase the shortage of food around the world

Do it urself noob

b a mature ovary of a plant.

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
