When exercising, working hard in heat, getting too much sun (can cause heat exhaustion and dehydration) or when you are running a fever from a virus or cold. Anything over 102 degrees F is a time to see your doctor.

If your body temperature is low how will the enzymes work?
Enzymes require certain temperatures to function. They become denatured if the temperature is too high or too low. If an enzyme is denatured, it can no longer function. Therefore, if your body temperature is too low, the enzymes will become denatured and cease to function. The process of denaturation is on a continuum, however. If the temperature is slightly lower than normal, but not too low, the enzymes will still function, but at a lower rate.
Is 39.4 Celsius too high?
If you mean too high for a normal body temperature - then yes ! Normal body temp is 37oC
What would happen if the temperature controls failed and body temperature became abnormally high?
when body temperature becomes too high the proteins in the body can ''denature'' or lose their shape, becoming functionless
What is too high body temperature?
When your body temperature reaches 103 or more, then it is too high. This indicates that there is a fever and a person should seek medical attention, especially if it has been more than three days.
When a person gets hypothermia the enzymes in their body become less active how does this change affect the body's chemical reaction?
most chemical reactions require a certain input of energy, meaning they need to be at a certain temperature. when the temperature is too low or too high, these chemical reactions cant take place.
Disscuss the skin's function for thermodynamics?
skin provides a control mechanism to maintain a homeostasis temperature of the whole body. when body temperature too low the body generates a body shaking mechanical force to provide energy to the body. when body temperature too high, the sweat gland releases energy as heat form to reduce body temperature.
When does fever get dangerous?
103 It gets dangerous when your body temperature gets too high and denature the enzymes in your body.
At what temperature do plant enzymes work best?
Enzymes work best at temperatures around body temperature. If the temperature is too low, there is too little kinetic energy available for it, but if it is too high, the enzyme will be denatured, and will therefore also work slower.

Why is the scrotum sometimes saggy and sometimes tight?
The testicles have to be a certain temperature to produce sperm. If they become too cold they will tighten towards the body. If they become too hot, they will sag down away from the body.
Why are the testes located outside the body in human?
The testes are located outside of the body because the bodies temperature is too high for the testes and the scrotum has a lower temperature for them to be able to produce sperm.
What is another term for heat-related illnesses or having a body temperature that is too high?
Hyperthermia/Fever
What happens if your body cannot control the body temperature?
All of your body heat would escape and you would die of hyperthermea. Heat escapes the most through your head and feet. <><><><> Too hot, you have hyperthermia, commonly called a fever. Too low, and you have hypothermia. If the internal body temp is too low or too high, organs in your body cannot function, and you die.
