Proteins function optimally at a specific temperature. So if you get too hot or too cold, biochemical reactions in your body start to function less well. If the situation becomes extreme enough, they can cease to function well enough to sustain life.
Warm-blooded animals have an advantage over cold-blooded ones in that their bodies automatically try to maintain the optimal termperature for things in their bodies to function. Cold-blooded animals depend on the environmental temperature to do this for them. That's why reptiles are very sluggish when they're cold, but will "wake up" when they get warm.
The cost to this benefit is that metabolically, warm-blooded animals require a lot more fuel to run their bodies. It's very energy-intensive to maintain a constant body temperature. Cold-blooded animals require far less fuel than warm-blooded ones relative to their size.
The way that proteins operate in a specific temperature is also true of the pH in your body which is also very tightly maintained.

E.They speed up biochemical reactions.
F.They send electrical signals.
The correct answers are C and D.
Explanation:
B cells and T cells use different biological weapons to attack the pathogen. The first secrete proteins called antibodies, which are distributed via the blood or the exposed surfaces to the environment, such as mucous. Antibodies are glycoproteins that circulate in the bloodstream looking for antigens that cause some type of damage to the body. Antibodies recognize and neutralize pathogens in a highly efficient way. Once the antibodies are produced, they remain circulating in the bloodstream for several months, which generates immunity for a long period of time to a certain antigen, in other words, they are capable of recognizing other molecules (antigens) in a very specific way and forming stable complexes with them (immune complexes). Its appearance in plasma is part of the adaptive immune response, in what is known as a specific humoral response, constituting a very effective defense against pathogens.
Answer:
Topographically SN is classified into:
1. Central SN- made up of the brain and spinal cord
2. Peripheral SN- made up of nerves (31 pairs of spinal nerves, 12 pairs of cranial nerves), nerve plexuses and nerve ganglia
Structural Dpdv
1. Somatic SN \ of relationship life
2. Vegetative SN a) sympathetic- acts in unusual conditions (eg stress, fear)
b) parasympathetic- acts in normal life conditions
Explanation:
Answer:
Birds require high levels of oxygen and, therefore, high rates of gas exchange due to flight demands. Avian resting oxygen consumption is high compared to that of mammals and other vertebrates, and this increases even more during the flight.
Explanation:
Compared to mammals, birds have specific adaptations of the respiratory system that result in higher levels of oxygen exchange.
