The corpse flower produces the smell of rotting flesh to attract pollinators on the floor of the rainforest. This adaptation is an example of

Every insect pollinator is adapted to deliver the pollen from another of the male flower to the stigma of the female flower.  

Explanation:

This adaptation is very essential in the pollination of flowers. If new pollinators are used then the pollen will be delivered to the stigma of a different species which may lead to only cross pollination.

If this niche marketing of the flower to specific pollinators is not present then fruits of the same species will not form. Each plant species has a selective pollinators based on the floral scent.

Hope this helped and have a great day

Well, defense and support to the ecosystem.

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.
