A group of scientists wants to observe the adaptation of a foreign fish species in a river ecosystem. To do this, they want to enclose the top and sides of a section of a river to block light and matter from entering the area. Evaluate whether this experimental system is an isolated system. Justify your answer based on the definition of an isolated system.

1. an enzyme is considered a(n) because it speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up.2. in a catalyzed reaction, a reactant is often called a(n) . an enzyme is specific because the shape of its matches only particular reactants.4. an enzyme speeds up reactions by lowering the . the between an active site and its substrate often strains bonds and the reaction proceed.6. a( , which is often a vitamin, binds to an enzyme and plays a role in catalysis.7. high temperatures or changes in ph can an enzyme, causing it to lose its shape and biological activity.
