The organisms within an established ecosystem interact and form relationships with each other over time. the interdependence allows ecosystems to remain relatively stable for hundreds and sometimes thousands of years. which of the following would likely decrease the population size of an established plant species?

true is the answer : )

thats not even an aswer choice

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.
