Metabolic Reactions Explain Temperature Maintained Narrow Range Cells

Maintaining temperature within a narrow range is important for cells because enzymes, which control metabolic reactions, denature at temperatures that are too high.

Lämpötilan ylläpitäminen kapealla alueella soluissa on tärkeää, koska entsyymit, jotka säätelevät aineenvaihduntareaktioita, denaturoituvat liian korkeassa lämpötilassa.

Front Explain why temperature needs to be maintained within a narrow range in cells.
Back Importance of thermoregulation:
  • Enzymes control metabolic reactions within cells
  • If temp too high they denature - metabolic reactions happen too slowly
