These two dogs have a litter of puppies together. Which description most correctly describes these puppies?
The puppies are guaranteed to win agility competitions.
With training, the puppies are likely to excel at agility competitions.
The puppies will be born with the ability to complete agility competitions.
Without training. the puppies are no more likely to succeed at agility competitions than any other dog.

i might be wrong but i think its a. let me know if i’m right and have a good rest of your day!

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.
