obj 2.77a Thermoregulation
2.77a
homeo – ‘same’
Stasis – ‘fixedpoint/conditions’
Homeostasis – The conditions kept the same/constant
Thermic –temperature (Homeothermic- same temp)
Organisms (i.e Mammals) , when the environment temp changes (increases or decreases) then their body tem stays constant. These are HOMEOTHERMIC ORGANISMS. They carry out a process called Thermoregulation
Other organisms have body temp that varies with the environment.
2.9
- The max rate of reacted is achieved at the optimum temperature for that enzyme
The opt temp for the enzyme is approximately the same as the temp at which the mammals maintain their body conditions
