HSC 2100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 39: Cellular Respiration, Photosynthesis, Glycerol
Document Summary
The point at which the concentration of reactants exceeds the availability to enzymes, thus after this point increasing reactant concentration will have no impact on enzyme activity. Are chemicals that participate in chemical reactions in cells. Example: glucose and oxygen taken from external environments or atp energy taken from metabolic pathways (internal). Carbon dioxide + water => glucose + oxygen + water. Glucose + oxygen + water => carbon dioxide + water + atp. Equation: c6h12o6 + 6o2 + 6h2o = 6co2 + 12h2o + atp. Structural features of an organisms body that increase survival. Includes fur, feathers, scales, hair or fat storage which is used for insulation. Surface area to volume ratio also assist in temperature regulation as larger animals have a smaller ratio which means they will not lose as much heat. Refers to a way that a living think functions, rather than to its shape or structure that enables it to survive in its habitat.
