2.77a - Thermoregulation

Homeostasis ‘same’ ‘fixed/constant’

Homeothermic – ‘temperature’ same temp.

Eg: mamals = body temp (y) environment temp (x)

Homeothermic = thermo regulation

Eg: mammals = temp change then body temp. stays the same = Homeothermic Organism à Thermoregulation

OR some organisms have a body temperature that could vary in different environments.

Looking at 2.9:                  

Rate of reaction = optimum temp for that enzyme.

Optimum temp for the enzyme nearly the same temp of mammal body temp.
