Answer:

Enzyme activity decrease at these temperatures. 

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is facilitated by the action of various enzymes and involves light and dark reactions. In light reactions chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and creates ATP AND NADPH. In dark reactions carbon is fixed using the ATP and NADPH. 

The efficiency of all these activities depends on the activity of enzymes which depends on the temperature. The optimum temperature range where the enzyme activity is optimal is about 10°c - 20°c. At low temperatures and high temperatures enzyme activity is less efficient.

At a temperature above 38°c and below 0°c enzyme activity decreases.

Name 3 critical areas of the body that are accurately maintained by homeostasis.

tester [92]

Answer: Respiratory system, Excretory system, and Endocrine system.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process through which several organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment in the body. There are three organs of the body which ar eaccurately maintained by homeostasis:

Respiratory system: High carbon dioxide content in the blood triggers faster breathing. Most frequently, the lungs exhale, which quicker extracts carbon dioxide from the body.

Endocrine system: High blood sugar content causes insulin release by an endocrine gland called pancreas. Insulin is a hormone which helps the cells absorb blood sugar.

Excretory system: A low blood level of water causes kidney accumulation of water. The kidneys contain more concentrated urine, so less water from the body is lost.

Hence, three critical areas are respiratory system, excretory system, and endocrine system that are accurately maintained by homeostasis.
