enzyme-catalyzed reaction is called a substrate. The area of the enzyme that binds to the substrate is called the active site - where the action takes place. * Cofactors and coenzymes are small molecules or ions that help enzymes to act. HSC Biology Notes – Hugh Phillips Maintaining a Balance 1.Most organisms are active in a limited temperature range: Identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates:

Q1:Why is reproduction essential for organisms? Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all living organisms. It is a biological process through which living organisms produce offspring’s similar to them. Reproduction ensures the continuance of various species on the Earth. In the absence of reproduction‚ the species will not be able to exist for a long time and may soon get extinct. Q2:Which is a better mode of reproduction sexual or asexual? Why? Sexual reproduction is a better mode of reproduction

Biology is the science of life. That includes the structure‚ function‚ growth and evolution of a living organism‚ for example humans. There are many levels of study in biology that include botany‚ zoology‚ and the study of cells in a molecular level. Psychology is the science that studies mental processes and behavior. Like Biology‚ there are many levels of study in psychology that may include animal psychology‚ child psychology‚ ect. But what we may not take into consideration is that
