What is the benefit of using a shortcut in a reaction between two chemicals? a shortcut would ensure a safer reaction. a shortcut may provide a faster reaction. a reaction with a shortcut would yield more chemical output. a reaction with a shortcut would require less chemical input.

In biological systems, the chemical reactions concerning glucose and ATP as a product are vital for cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Shortcuts reduce the activation energy, which increases the net "gain" of products. I would go with the last one.

The correct answer will be option-A shortcut may provide a faster reaction.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction proceeds if the activation energy of a reaction exceeds the threshold activation energy (minimum energy required to proceed with a reaction).

The shortcut used during the chemical reaction is known as a catalyst which increases the velocity or rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction.

Since lowering the activation energy help increase the speed of reaction, therefore, the selected option is the correct answer.

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
