Maintaining a Balance 1. Most organism are active in a limited temperature range The role of Enzymes in metabolism‚ their chemical composition and specificity on substrates Role of enzymes * Enzymes are organic catalysts. They are protein molecules that increase the rate of the reactions in living organisms. * Without enzymes‚ metabolic reactions at body temperatures would be too slow to produce sufficient energy to maintain life * Intracellular enzymes are used in the cells

which are needed to live. Some of those elements are calcium‚ phosphorus‚ potassium‚ sulfur‚ sodium‚ magnesium‚ and many more. In the circulatory system‚ two elements that are critical to the circulatory system are iron and oxygen‚ without these two elements it would be impossible for the system to function. The circulatory system is an organ system that permits blood and lymph circulation to transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes)‚ oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ hormones‚ blood cells

simultaneously and very quickly. The brain itself requires extremely fast speeds to operate at even at the simplest level. How do the biological tissues of our body support such rapid coordination of the brain‚ limbs‚ and sensory input? They do so with nervous system tissue that imitates electrical wiring.

people) Normally‚ neurons in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) cannot regenerate injured nerve fibers‚ limiting people’s ability to recover from brain or spinal cord injuries. Repair of the central nervous system and restoration of voluntary motor activity through axonal re-growth has long been considered impossible in mammals. Over the last decade‚ numerous attempts proved disappointing overall. While repair of the central nervous system has long been considered impossible have
