What changes are enzymes sensitive to?
temperature
Why is it important that your body carefully control the temperature and pH of its tissues?
Because enzymes (and metabolism in general) are sensitive to changes in temperature and pH and optimized to certain values to properly maintain homeostasis.
How do color changing shirts change color in sunlight?
The shirts contain a thermochromic (temperature sensitive) pigment which changes colour when cold or hot and when the sunlight heats up the pigment, the shirt changes colour.
How do internal temperature or pH changes disrupt the homeostasis of an organism?
Internal temperature or pH changes can disrupt the homeostasis of an organism by affecting the functioning of enzymes and proteins, which are sensitive to changes in their environment. These changes can alter the rate of biochemical reactions and disrupt the overall balance within the organism. Organisms have mechanisms in place, such as sweating or shivering in response to temperature changes, or buffering systems to maintain stable pH levels, to regulate these variables and restore homeostasis.
Can you get headaches when the weather suddenly changes?
Yes, some people are sensitive to changes in weather and may experience headaches or migraines as a result. Rapid changes in temperature, humidity, or barometric pressure can trigger these headaches in susceptible individuals. It is thought that these weather-related headaches are due to changes in the brain's blood vessels or levels of certain chemicals.
What changes are enzymes sensitive to?
temperature
Is the ear sensitive to temperature changes pressure changes pain and vibrations?
No
The element in a thermostat that is sensitive to temperature changes is what?
In a car thermostat the element is wax
What does the thermistor do?
the THERMORECEPTOR responds to changes in the temperature
What is thermistor diode?
A semiconductor device that is particularly sensitive to changes in temperature, permitting it to serve as an accurate measure of temperature.
Why aluminium does not used for micrometer frames?
Aluminum is to sensitive to temperature changes and would cause inacurate readings.
What is mineral precipitation?
Dissolved minerals that precipitate out due to pH changes, temperature, pressure or simply evaporation
What is the scientific name for touch receptors?
The touch receptors are grouped by type and include Mechanoreceptors (sensitive to pressure, vibration and slip), Thermoreceptors (sensitive to changes in temperature), and Nocioreceptors (responsible for pain).
What makes a liquid in glass thermometer sensitive to a small changes in temperature?
A liquid in glass thermometer is sensitive to small changes in temperature due to the thermal expansion of the liquid contained inside the glass tube. As the temperature increases, the liquid expands, causing it to rise up the calibrated scale of the thermometer. Conversely, as the temperature decreases, the liquid contracts, causing it to subside on the scale. This expansion and contraction of the liquid is highly responsive to even slight temperature variations, making it sensitive to small changes in temperature.
Why is it important that your body carefully control the temperature and pH of its tissues?
Because enzymes (and metabolism in general) are sensitive to changes in temperature and pH and optimized to certain values to properly maintain homeostasis.
Why should a mother use her lips to check her child's temperature?
Most sensitive to minor temp. changes. More capillaries? More nerves?
How do color changing shirts change color in sunlight?
The shirts contain a thermochromic (temperature sensitive) pigment which changes colour when cold or hot and when the sunlight heats up the pigment, the shirt changes colour.
