Explain why enzymes are essential or important to maintaining homeostasis in living things.

Biology
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Enzymes are proteins that catalyse (speed up) vital chemical reactions inside the body. Enzymes will only function properly under a small range of certain conditions, such as preferred pH and temperature. If any conditions are outside their specific range then the enzymes cannot function. This could cause the organism to die. Homeostasis relies on automatic control systems that include nervous responses (nervous system) or chemical responses (endocrine system). Receptors and effectors are also needed

I hope this will be useful

“If cells reproduce by copying themselves, how do we get all of the different cell types in the body?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The cells inside our bodies are “specialized.” This means that each type of cell performs a unique and special function. For this reason, each of the 200 different types of cells in the body has a different structure, size, shape, and function, and contains different organelles.

We are multicellular organisms, different types of cells are required to do different function.

Explanation:

Actually cells in our body won't reproduce, LOL.

It get divided ( see the attached image )

Which of the following statements is true about passive transport?
user100 [1]

Answer:

No cellular energy is needed in the Passive transport.

Explanation:

A movement of atomic molecules and ions throughout the cell membrane is known as passive transport. In this transportation of molecules no cellular energy is used.

As this movement is influenced by the tendency to grow as entropy, the energy is not in need unlike the active transport. Its rate depends on the permeability of cell membrane. There are four types of passive transport- facilitated diffusion, simple diffusion osmosis or filtration.

Why are the seminal vesicles important for human reproduction?

This might help:

The seminal vesicles (Latin: glandulae vesiculosae), vesicular glands, or seminal glands, are a pair of simple tubular glands posteroinferior to the urinary bladder of some male mammals. Seminal vesicles are located within the pelvis. They secrete fluid that partly composes the semen.

They pass through the prostate, and open into the urethra at the seminal colliculus. During ejaculation, semen passes through the prostate gland, enters the urethra and exits the body via the urinary meatus.

I believe that the answer is:

A. 

They allow the sperm to travel to the urethra to be released.

Human evolution

Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years.
One of the earliest defining human traits, bipedalism -- the ability to walk on two legs -- evolved over 4 million years ago. Other important human characteristics -- such as a large and complex brain, the ability to make and use tools, and the capacity for language -- developed more recently. Many advanced traits -- including complex symbolic expression, art, and elaborate cultural diversity -- emerged mainly during the past 100,000 years.
Humans are primates. Physical and genetic similarities show that the modern human species, Homo sapiens, has a very close relationship to another group of primate species, the apes. Humans and the great apes (large apes) of Africa -- chimpanzees (including bonobos, or so-called “pygmy chimpanzees”) and gorillas -- share a common ancestor that lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa.
Most scientists currently recognize some 15 to 20 different species of early humans. Scientists do not all agree, however, about how these species are related or which ones simply died out. Many early human species -- certainly the majority of them – left no living descendants. Scientists also debate over how to identify and classify particular species of early humans, and about what factors influenced the evolution and extinction of each species.
Early humans first migrated out of Africa into Asia probably between 2 million and 1.8 million years ago. They entered Europe somewhat later, between 1.5 million and 1 million years. Species of modern humans populated many parts of the world much later. For instance, people first came to Australia probably within the past 60,000 years and to the Americas within the past 30,000 years or so. The beginnings of agriculture and the rise of the first civilizations occurred within the past 12,000 years.
Hope this helps:)
