A) Because cells shrivel in a hypotonic environment,the bacterial cell wall counteracts the inward osmotic pressure and prevents the cell from being crushed.
B) Because cells swell in a hypotonic environment,the bacterial cell wall counteracts the inward osmotic pressure and prevents the cell from being crushed.
C) Because cells shrivel in a hypotonic environment,the bacterial cell wall counteracts the outward osmotic pressure and prevents the cell from bursting.
D) Because cells are osmotically balanced in a hypotonic environment,the cell wall allows water flow back and forth,continuing to maintain the osmotic balance.
E) Because cells swell in a hypotonic environment,the bacterial cell wall counteracts the outward osmotic pressure and prevents the cell from bursting.

A) It raises the energy of activation,which makes the reaction it regulates less likely to occur and decreases the chemical product yield.
B) It lowers the energy of activation,which makes the reaction it catalyzes less likely to occur and slows down the production of the chemical product.
C) It decreases the energy of activation,which results in more energy being needed to initiate the reaction and increases the yield of the chemical product.
D) It increases the energy of activation,which decreases the likelihood of undesirable side reactions and increases the yield of desired products.
E) It reduces the energy of activation,which makes the reaction it facilitates more likely to occur and speeds up the production of the chemical product.
