How is homeostasis important to enzymes? explain your answer.

Homeostasis is important to enzymes because in order to function properly, they need to be in prime conditions and keeping homeostasis, a consistent internal environment (right temperature, right pH, right glucose levels in blood, etc). If homeostasis is not kept he enzymes will not be able to work properly. For example, if temperature get too high the enzymes will denature (get destroyed basically) and will be unusable, if temperatures get to low the bonds the enzyme has will get to stiff and substrate won’t get able to bond to it, both slowing enzyme production. There are other examples but basically homeostasis is necessary for consistent and fast enzymes.

q: compare the parts of a cell and the cell as a whole to another common nonliving system (i.e., a car, a city,

a:

comparing this to the inside of a food building/company.

all cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, which protects the cell from its environment, keeping toxic substances out of the cell. it regulates which molecules are allowed to enter and exit the cell.

regulates all cell activity such as cellular metabolism, and growth in addition to storing and maintaining the cell's dna for transcription and replication. determines what proteins to make.

contains the organelles; site of most cell activity

the place where ribosomes do their working activity.

builds the proteins.

prepares proteins for use or export.

responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell.

maintains cell shape.

transforms one form of energy into another.

yes it is weird but true
