differences in the range of electromagnetic radiation detected by humans and other animals: Reasons for differences in detection between humans and other animals: The differences between human detection range and other animals detection range relates to their environment in which they live in and their way of life. The detection out of the visible spectrum is usually an adaptation for survival of the organism. Humans detection range of 380-750 nm (visible light) can only detect

Most organisms are active in a limited temperature range 1. identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates Enzymes are proteins which act as catalysts in living things (they lower the amount of energy needed for a reaction‚ therefore increasing rate of reaction). Enzymes speed up reactions but are not used up by them. Enzymes catalyze only one
