True

Explanation:

Organic matter in the soil is called "humus". It is formed by the decomposition of plant material by microorganisms.

It is extremely important for retaining water and nutrients in the soil, both of which are crucial for plant growth and survival. Therefore, organic matter in the soil makes the soil much more "productive."

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.
