37
If your body temperature drops below normal your brain me direct your body to start involuntary muscle contractions which makes you start to _______
shiver
38
blood pressure, blood pH, and blood glucose levels are all part of ________ Feedback systems were the correction of the level which is out of range leads to a slowing or seizing of the correct of measure

cofactors
40
Components of the body which detect temperature changes

42
metabolic rate is controlled by the hormone thyroxin which is produced in the______ gland
thyroid
43
A word used to describe the substance which will combine with the active site of an enzyme during a reaction
Substrate
44
Enzymes are said to be ______ Because each enzyme catalyzes only one type of reaction
specific
45
In an enzyme catalyzed reaction reaction rate will continue to increase with the addition of more substrate until all the enzyme active sites are _______\\\\ The addition of more substrates be on this point will result in no increase of reaction rate
saturated
46
Lipid based hormones are composed of
steroids
47
A biological catalyst is called an
enzyme
48
Factors affecting chemical reactions
Temperature surface area concentration use of a catalyst
49
What is a Catalyst
Catalysts work to speed up Chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy
50
Catalyst are ____ used up during a chemical reaction
not
51
Examples of catalysts
Potassium iodide and manganèse oxide
52
temperature increases the _______ | Energy of the molecules there by speeding up the number of successful collisions between reactants
kinetic
53
Why can you not add heat to cell’s to start chemical reactions
because the temperature well can get too high and proteins get denatured it is too inconvenient to add heat to your body every time a chemical reaction is occurring
54
A non-catalyzed with no enzyme reaction has a ________ rate of reaction
slower
55
catalyzed and with enzyme has a ________ reaction rate
faster
56
I’ll enzymes have an ending of?

57
When naming an enzyme the name usually indicates the _____The enzyme works on
substrate
58
``` enzyme substrate sucrase lipase helicase peptidase ATPase ```
lipids or fats DNA polypeptides proteins ATP
59
What are cofactors
Cofactors include metals such as copper zinc ion magnesium | they are organic and non-proteins they have vitamin components
60
what is a apoenzyme
a protein
61
holoenzyme
functional enzyme
62
What is the difference between a catalyst in an enzyme
A catalyst is a big group of things that speed up reaction rate An enzyme is a type of catalyst made of protein in biological organisms
63
_______+________=________
Apoenzyme+cofactor=holoenzyme
64
Where are positive systems found

65
What are the specific hormones that happen in positive feedback systems such as birth giving and breast-feeding
they secrete the hormone oxytocin
