Introduction: Biology is the study of life‚ what life needs to survive‚ what makes life possible‚ how life evolves and changes‚ and how life-forms interact with one another. Characteristics of Life Living things include both the visible world of animals and plants‚ as well as the invisible world of bacteria. On a basic level‚ we can say that life is ordered. Organisms have an enormously complex organization. We’re all familiar with the intricate systems of the basic unit of life‚ the cell

enzyme-catalyzed reaction is called a substrate. The area of the enzyme that binds to the substrate is called the active site - where the action takes place. * Cofactors and coenzymes are small molecules or ions that help enzymes to act. HSC Biology Notes – Hugh Phillips Maintaining a Balance 1.Most organisms are active in a limited temperature range: Identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates:
