Define Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts which speed up an event, they are a chemical reaction
When a substrate acts on a enzyme what happens?
They bind together creating an enzyme substrate complex
What is the lock and key Mechanism
When an enzyme and a substrate are bound together
Why are enzymes important to the Metabolism
because they are a catalyst and speed up chemical reactions in the body without them the Metabolism would be too slow to support life
what are enzymes made up of
They are made up of proteins
What happens with the poly peptide chain in enzymes
it is folderd into a 3 dimensional globular shape
Why is Homeostasis important to enzyme function
Because Enzymes only funciton within a certain range of conditions, therefore Homeostasis must be kept for maximum function
What are the two stages of Homeostasis?
Detection and response
Detection...
An organism detects change from a stable state
Responds...
An organism respnods to change and counteracts change to bring body back to stable state
What is a stimulus
Any change or information that provokes a response
What are reseptors
Detect stimuli
List some Examples of External Stimuli
light, day length, sound, temperture
List some Examples of Internal Stimuli
Level of CO2, oxygen levels, water levels
What are effectors
bring about response to stimuli
What is the temperture control center in mammals??
The hypathalimus
What are the two systems in the nervous system
Central nervous system...Brain and spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System...Branching system that run through out the body
What is Ambient temperture
Temperture of the enviroment
What are ectotherms
Animals that rely on the Ambient temperture to control their internal enviroments
Endotherm
Responses to changing temperature
Turgor Response
wilting
Leaf orientation
Change oriantation of leaves, to reduce exposure to the sun.
Leaf Fall
reduce exposure to sun, reduce risk of loosing water through exposure
Reseeding
resprouting in response to eatream high temp
Thermogenic Plants
Flowers able to heat up during cold month
What is carried in Plasma?
Carbon dioxide, Oxygen, water, salt, lipids, nitrogenous wastes, hormones, vitamins, anitibodies
Carbon Dioxide
is carried in the blood and bings to hemoglobin making carbaminohaemoglobin and also changes into hydrogen carbonate ions
Oxygen in blood
Oxyhemoglobin
The Adaptive Advantage of Heamoglobin
It can carry more oxygen through the blood
Arteries
Carry, blood away from heart.
Arteries have thick walls and they are elasticy.
Carry Oxygenated blood
Capillaries
Conect, arteries and veins.
one cell things,
Veins
Low Oxygenated blood,
Thinner walls, serries of valves which provent blood from flowing backwards.
Pulamanary circut
Blood enters right atrium via vina cava, The is deoxgenated...as the heart pumps the right ventrical pumps the blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where the blood gains oxygen and losses carbon dioxide
Xylem
transport water and inorganic ions Up the plants, water moves in by osmosis
Transpiration
Evaporation of water from the leafe cells throught the stomates initiating the pull of the transpirtaion stream. Water is the drawn up the xylem tupes to replace water loss.
Cohesion
Water molecules bing together forming a continuous coloum in the xylem, which replaces any loss
Adhesion
Water molecules stick to the sides of the xylem tubes, pulling the water up the tubes., caused by Cohsion and Adhesion
Phloem
Transports materials both up and down the plant, it is an active process that requires energy. A pump activly moves sugars into the sieve tues.
Symplatic Loading
one of the 2 ways nutrience is moved into phloem tubes....Sugars and nutrience move into the cytoplasm from the mesophyll cells to the sieve elemements, through plasmodesmata joining adjacent cells
Apoplastic loading
sugars and nutrience move along the cell walls to the sieve tube. then they cross the cell membrane by active transport.
