understand that homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment and that body water content and body temperature are both examples of homeostasis
- homeo- the same stasis- fixed point or set of conditions.
-homeostasis- conditions are kept the same or constant.
-homeothermic- (thermic= temperature) maintaining the same temperature.
-mammals- when environmental temp increase or decrease the body temperature remains constant.
-they carry out a process called thermoregulation.
-other organisms body temperature vary with environmental temp
-maximum rate of reaction is achieved by an optimum temperature for that enzyme.
-both graphs (ideas) are related because the optimum temp for that enzyme reaction is approximately the same as the the temp at which the mammals maintain their body conditions.
