If an active volcano produced magma that eventually became igneous rock, geologists would assume that the processes producing this rock are the same as those processes that occurred millions of years ago. This assumption is referred to as

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

answer: substrate concentration. enzymes work best when there is a high enough substrate concentration for the reaction they catalyse.
