How did Oparin explain many food production processes?
By gravity
By biocatalysis
By fermentation
By combustion
Answer
Biocatalysis is the use of enzymes to speed up a chemical reaction. Many food production processes, such as fermentation and cheese making, involve biocatalysis. Oparin explained these processes by suggesting that the first cells were able to use biocatalysis to break down complex molecules into simpler ones, which they could then use as food.
