Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ large protein proteins that have a very specific three-dimensional shape which makes them highly specific and only work on one or a few similar chemical reactions. Enzymes themselves are not consumed in the reaction‚ but they help attract substrates into correct position to undergo chemical reaction. Enzymes greatly speed up the rate of biological reactions by lowering the energy of activation. To get a sense of the speed and efficiency of enzymes‚ substrates can

The Activity of a Protease (Trypsin) Introduction Enzymes catalyze reactions by creating alternate reaction mechanisms whose transition states are more thermodynamically stable than uncatalyzed reactions (Berg et al.‚ 2002; UBC Department of Microbiology and Immunology‚ 2006). Increased thermodynamic stability in these transition states reduces the energy of activation‚ the minimum amount of energy input a chemical system requires for a reaction to occur (UBC Department of Microbiology

Purpose Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries‚ even when the surrounding temperature varies and is of higher or lower temperature than what is normal. The purpose of thermoregulation is to balance thermal inputs and thermal losses in the body so as to maintain a relatively constant core temperature of approximately 36.7 degrees celsius. If this was unable to take place the body may not be able to functions properly and it could result

For example‚ your body does things to maintain constant blood sugar levels and body temperature. 1. What are some things you do to stay cool on a hot day? Some things I do to stay cool is to drink water‚ wear less clothes and turn the fan/ air conditioner on at the location I am at. 2. What can you do to warm up on a cold day? On a cold

This occurs because these forests are exposed to cold and warm air‚ which makes them encounter all four seasons. Temperatures in the deciduous are estimated to be up to 50°. They also have precipitation of 30 to 60 inches a year. One of the traits these trees have is thick bark that protects them from cold or really hot weather. Deciduous forests can be found everywhere

Introduction: Skeletal muscle is a type of striated muscle that is attached to skeleton to facilitate movement by applying force to bones and joints through contraction. Skeletal muscle generally contract voluntarily when stimulated by the nerve‚ although they can also contract involuntarily at times. Muscle action is controlled by the Nervous System

Enzymes and their importance in plants and animals (25 marks) Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which accelerate the speed of chemical reactions in the body without being used up or changed in the process. Animals and plants contain enzymes which help break down fats‚ carbohydrates and proteins into smaller molecules the cells can use to get energy and carry out the processes that allow the plant or animal to survive. Without enzymes‚ most physiological processes would not take place. Hundreds of

Temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region is greatest in the winter. Temperatures near or at the equator only change a few degrees between winter and summer while the Arctic region changes drastically up to 40 degrees between the seasons. 2. (a) Were latitude the only
