The answer is catalysts. Catalysts speed up the rate of a <span>reaction</span> without<span>  </span>getting consumed in the process. Catalysts, in <span>this</span> case, enzymes act by reducing the activation energy or changing the reaction mechanism (such as foregoing some transition states). A popular enzyme is a <span>carbonic</span> anhydrase that <span>catalyzes</span> the formation of carbonic acid in the <span>blood</span> plasma (<span>from</span> carbon <span>dioxide</span> and water), a critical function in regulating blood pH.

Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for biological reactions. 

Enzymes work specifically to speed up the rate of the chemical reactions that occur inside a cell. They are needed for vital life functions. They aid in digestion and metabolism, They are so important that if one enzyme is missing or defective, the effects would be devastating.

Use the drop-down menus to identify the types of convergent boundaries labeled A, B, And C.
algol [13]
Oceanic-continental convergence occurs when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge. They are pushed together and the oceanic plate is forced to go under the continental plate. So based on the diagram, this convergence occurred in letter B. 

Oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two oceanic plates collide into one another. The oceanic plate that is older, denser and/or colder will be the plate that will go under the other. It will be forced down into the mantle. So in our diagram, this occurs in letter A.

Continental-continental convergence occurs when two continental plates converge. In this case, the plates push up against each other and create mountain ranges. Unlike the other two, they do not sink down, the movement is upwards. This occurs in the area C of your diagram.
