The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of reaction where the same chemical reacts repeatedly with the substrate, we can analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding the Options:** - **(a) Catalytic:** Catalytic reactions involve a catalyst that speeds up the reaction but is not consumed in the process. However, the catalyst itself does not react repeatedly with the substrate; it facilitates the reaction. - **(b) Enzymatic:** Enzymatic reactions involve enzymes, which are biological catalysts. While enzymes can catalyze reactions repeatedly, they do not react with the substrate in the same way as described in the question. - **(c) Chainamictic:** This term seems to refer to chain reactions, where a reactant (initiator) can react repeatedly with other molecules to propagate the reaction. This is the most fitting description for the question asked. - **(d) Both a and b:** Since both catalytic and enzymatic reactions do not fit the description of the same chemical reacting repeatedly with the substrate, this option is incorrect. 2. **Identifying the Correct Answer:** - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **(c) chainamictic**, as it describes a reaction where a particular reagent reacts repeatedly with an initiator or intermediate to produce a product. ### Final Answer: The reaction in which the same chemical reacts again and again with the substrate is **(c) chainamictic**.
