is an advantage to both endotherms and ectotherms in having a warm body temperature (within limits). The warm body temperature will help them maintain their body at a metabolically favourable temperature at which the body enzymes are working in their optimum. When the enzymes are working at their best‚ the body has faster metabolism and more ability in doing something as it

| [pic] Introduction Enzymes are catalysts which speed up a reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway of lower activation energy. But they do not undergo permanent changes and so they remain unchanged even at the end of the reaction. Many enzymes consist of proteins and non-proteins called the cofactor. The intra- and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary

Lauren Spillers Biology 1408 February 5‚ 2013 Lung Cancer Lung cancer is the number one form of deadly cancer in the United States. It is not only something that can kill you but also can put a strain on you and your family financially‚ emotionally‚ and medically. Lung cancer is formed when the cells of the lungs grow in an uncontrolled way‚ this creates a lump or a tumor which can either be malignant (cancerous) or benign (not cancerous). Radon gases‚ smoking‚ and second hand smoke cause lung

Investigation on the effects of Temperature‚ pH levels‚ and Enzyme Concentration on the reaction rate of the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide by Catalase The purpose of this investigation is to figure out how temperature‚ pH‚ and enzyme concentration affect the reaction rate of an enzyme. It’s important to understand how certain factors affect enzymes because of their crucial role in the metabolic processes of life. Enzymes lower the activation energy necessary for a chemical reaction to

DEFINITIONS * Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms‚ including their structure‚ function‚ growth‚ evolution‚ distribution‚ and taxonomy. * The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing (except virus‚ which consists only from DNA/RNA covered by protein and lipids)‚ and is often called the building block of life. Organisms can be classified

In biology species can become isolated from other species through a number of processes. These isolation processes keep the two species from interbreeding and producing hybrid offspring. There are five separate isolation processes that prevent two species capable of producing offspring from being able to do so. Ecological Isolation Ecological‚ or habitat‚ isolation is when two species that could interbreed do not because the species live in different areas. For example‚ in the wild of India both
