Biology- Maintaining a Balance Summary 1. 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

other animals) exhibit wide body temperature variation.[2] An advantage of temperature regulation is that it allows an organism to function effectively in a broad range of environmental conditions. For example‚ ectotherms tend to become sluggish at low temperatures‚ whereas a co-located endotherm may be fully active. That thermal stability comes at a price‚ since an automatic regulation system requires additional energy.[2] If the temperature rises‚ the body loses heat

9.2 Maintaining a Balance Contextual Outline Multicellular organisms have specialized organ systems that are adapted for the uptake and transport of essential nutrients from the environment‚ the utilisation or production of energy and the removal of waste products arising from cellular activities. The basis of healthy body functioning in all organisms is the health of their cells. The physical and chemical factors of the environment surrounding these cells must

9.2 - Maintaining a Balance: 1. Most organisms are active within a limited temperature range: * Identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity in substrates: * Role of enzymes in metabolism: * Metabolism refers to all the chemical reactions occurring in organisms * Enzymes are biological catalysts which increase the rate of chemical reactions * Without enzymes‚ metabolism

In 1865 French physiologist‚ Claude Bernard‚ defined homeostasis as the control of internal conditions within living organisms‚ for example temperature. The external environment can change at any time therefore the human body must uphold a constant internal environment for cells‚ organs and tissues to continue to operate (Hall‚ 2010). The homeostatic regulation is the changing physiological systems inside the body (Tortora‚ 2009). Figure 1 below shows the three mechanisms of homeostatic regulation

CORE ONE: MAINTAINING A BALANCE • IDENTIFY THE ROLE OF ENZYMES IN METABOLISM‚ DESCRIBE THEIR CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND USE A SIMPLE MODEL TO DEMOSTRATE THEIR SPECIFITY ON SUBSTRATES. Enzymes are biological catalysts this means that they lower the energy required to start a chemical reaction within a cell but don’t get used up by that reaction. Every reaction and process in the metabolism of the cell is controlled by a specific enzyme. Enzymes are globular proteins whose shapes are specialised

thermal neutral zone (TNZ) of an endotherm is its temperature tolerance range. For the mouse‚ this is about room temperature. It is seen that in the TNZ‚ the metabolic rate decreases from about 1.75 to 1 (Fig 1). During the LCT (10-15 ‚ the metabolic rate increases while in the UCT (30-35 )‚ the metabolic rate also increases (Fig 1). Though the values received for the metabolic rate during the TNZ are not supported by the hypothesis‚ the general idea is. Since endotherms keep their internal temperature

What Is Cellular Respiration and What Influences It’s Function? BSC 2010L 06/19/2013 Abstract: Eating is a basic essential of life that most people don’t pay much mind till they’re hungry. Eating is essential and very important for various reasons but one of the main reasons is for energy. Our bodies use a term called cellular respiration which is the process by which chemical energy of food is released and partially captured in the form of ATP or energy. Throughout the experiment
