Frage 3
Frage
What is the temperature at which enzymes work best?
Frage 4
Frage
Why is it important to control our body's water content?
Antworten
-
Too much water could move into or out of our cells which will damage the cells.
-
Too much water could move into the cells making us over-hydrated and the cells won't work as well.
-
Not enough water could move into the cells meaning that they will get dehydrated and won't work as well.

Antworten
-
Too much/too little water is drawn in by osmosis > damages the cells
-
Too much/too little water is drawn in by diffusion > damages the cells
-
Too much/too little water is drawn in by active transport > damages the cells
