not only is it colder, it also becomes darker, less salty, and more dense.

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

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.

bal is blood alcohol level. bac will normally be higher in a person with more body fat. so the answer to your question would be, as body fat decreases, the increasing rate of bal decreases.
