Document Summary

Looking at a comparison between an animal that lives in low temperature and an animal that lives in high temperatures. Low temp would have a low rate function, and high temp would have a high rate function. (so graph would be a straight line). The reason for that is kinetics, kinetics are temperature sensitive. You can make an animal live at a different temperature, and its rate function would just shift down the graph. They have an ability to adjust; they can do that do that on a seasonal basis, and an on evolutionary basis. Paper that hochachka/somero wrote in 1968 called adaptation of enzymes to temperature and proposed a mechanism to explain this. They suggested that temperature (besides having kinetic effect) also could modify activities, meaning it would directly modify the enzyme and therefore the activity. Hard to define adaptation, because its overused and it occurs at all biological levels. Have an idea of what adaptation is (exam).
