Describe negative feedback.

Negative feedback is when the effector opposes the stimulus and reverses the direction of change.

Things that affect chemical reaction:

1. temperature, heat speeds up molecular movement, increasing the frequency in force of collisions between molecules.


2. Concentration: concentrated solutions molecules are more densely packed increasing the rate of pollution.


3. Catalysts, these are the chemical substances that speed up the rate of reaction.

Define enzyme.

A substance that acts as a catalyst to bring about a certain chemical reaction.
