Explanation:

Why is it beneficial for an organism to have its tissues near its optimal temperature? List various functions or activities that may be affected if the body temperature deviates too far from the temperature optimum (which functions or activities are mediated by proteins)?

a.) Muscle-movements

b.) Digestion of food

c.) Growth and development

Just about every aspect of an organisms daily functions are governed by the actions of proteins, be they structural proteins that determine cell shape, motor-protein that move vesicles inside the cell or allow muscle cells to contract, or be they enzymes that catalyze the vast majority of chemical reactions a cell has to engage in.

It turns out that every living organism gives off some heat. The difference between endotherms and ectotherms is merely the rate at which this heat is produced by the organism.

In fact, even plants and bacteria produce some heat as they go through their daily lives. This is evident in early spring, when the earliest spring flowers manage to thaw themselves through a solid ice layer, or when you overturn a compost heap on a crisp fall day in which bacteria decomposers are very active you will see steam rising from the pile.

What source have we already discussed that can produce this heat given off by organisms to their environment?

a) negative delta G of energetically coupled reactions.

Endotherms take advantage in particular of cellular respiration to ramp up that heat given off from energetically coupled reactions due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

As a consequence, endotherms maintain highly elevated rates of cellular respiration compared to ectotherms

b.) lowering of activation energy by an organism's enzymes

Transport issue of vascular plants are the and ?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The directed movement of substances, into, out of or within a cell, either in a vascular tissue or in the vascular membrane.

The main roles of plant stems and roots are to transport substances around the plant. They have two types of transport systems – xylem and phloem . Xylem transports water and minerals. Phloem transports sugars and amino acids dissolved in water.

hope it helps because there is not any issue of transport , and if my answer i s not supportable comment i will provid emore information.

a person usually experiences changes in body temperature over a 24 hour period. is it caused by immune responses?
schepotkina [342]
At times, a person may have experienced a sudden or unexpected change in body temperature within a 24-hour period. This change in the body temperature is caused by immune responses. If there is a detected infection in the body, the immune system fights back thus causing the change of body temperature.

Write characterize progression of infectious disease.
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

* Infectious disease management depends on precise portrayal of disease progression so transmission can be forestalled. Gradually progressing infectious diseases can be hard to characterize because of a latency period between the time an individual is infected and when they show clinical signs of disease.

* Defining directions through sickness states from infection to clinical illness can assist researchers with creating control programs dependent on focusing on individual infection state, possibly decreasing both progression and creating misfortunes because of the illness.

Explanation:

Gradually progressing infectious diseases are hard to characterize in light of the fact that they are frequently connected with an inactivity period between the time an individual is infected and when they give clinical indications or side effects of illness.

To successfully control infectious diseases, it is paramount to see how the disease progresses.
