Controlling body temperature is important due to multiple reasons. Firstly, it is important to maintain the temprature at which enzymes work optimally. Secondly, it allows for the chemical reactions in th...

Inside a cell of a living organism, the information stored in the DNA in the form of genes is first read and translated into an intermediate molecule, RNA, inside of the nucleus. This molecule of RNA, whi...

The circulatory system is described as being "dual", which means that blood passes through the heart twice for each complete circuit of the body, once to the lungs, and once to the rest o fthe b...

Other ways that substances can cross the plasma membrane include facilitated transport, where molecules or ions must interact with a channel/carrier protein to be transported across the membrane, down a c...

Initally, the rate of reaction is able to increase as concentration does because at this point, not all enzymes active sites are occupied. Therefore, by adding more substrate, a higher percentage of enzym...
