How do enzymes in your body make chemical reactions occur at a safe temperature?

Enzymes lower the activation energy needed for chemical reactions to occur, which helps them proceed at a faster rate and at a lower temperature. This allows reactions to happen efficiently within the body's normal temperature range, maintaining a safe environment for biochemical processes to take place.


Why must the testes be outside of the abdominal cavity?

The temperature needed for the sperms to survive and thrive is lower than the optimum body temperature , hence it is not possible to maintain a lower temperature inside the body hence the testes are located outside the body.


Is the scrotum found outside of the body?

Your testes descend from abdominal cavity to the scrotum. There is difference of one degree Celsius from body. It is lower in the scrotum. This one degree Celsius lower temperature is necessary for production of the sperms.


What organ releases water and urea to lower body temperature?

The sweat glands in the skin release water and urea to lower body temperature through the process of evaporation. Sweat is composed mainly of water and electrolytes, with urea being a waste product that is also excreted through sweat.


How might our body temperature be affected if water didn't have the high specific heat that it does?

If the water had lower specific heat capacity than the body temperature would be higher as less energy would be required to increase the temperature by 1 degree celsius but seeing that the hypothalamus is responsible for keeping the temperature regulated, The average temperature would remain same as the current body temperature favours a lot of enzyme activity as well.

Why does the frog heart have lower heart rate than mammalian heart?

Frog's internal body temperature is lower than that of a mammal lower temperature = slower heart rate


What is the specific heat of a mammalian body and how does it affect the body's ability to regulate temperature?

The specific heat of a mammalian body is approximately 3.5 J/gC. This means that it takes a relatively large amount of energy to change the temperature of the body. This high specific heat helps the body regulate its temperature by absorbing and releasing heat slowly, which helps maintain a stable internal temperature despite external temperature changes.

What is the only ectothermic mammal?

There are mammals that are truly ectothermic. However the naked mole-rat does not regulate its body temperature in typical mammalian fashion and unlike other mammals its body temperature tracks ambient temperatures.


What does it mean if your body temperature is lower than the avg body temperature?

That means that your body temperature is lower than 37 degrees Celsius. It probably means you have been inactive for a while. 37 C or 98.6 F is the average body temperature, not a required temperature. You can raise it a bit with some vigourous exercise or lower it by relaxing.


Can a fan effectively lower your body temperature?

Yes, a fan can effectively lower your body temperature by promoting evaporation of sweat, which helps cool the skin.


Can Tamiflu lower your body temperature?

Yes. Not only does it lower your temperature, it controls all the symptoms of H1N1.


Healthy sperm production should have a scrotal temperature that is?

Healthy sperm production should have a scrotal temperature that is slightly lower than the body's core temperature, around 2-4 degrees Celsius lower. Maintaining this lower temperature is important for optimal sperm production and quality.


How does the time of day affect your body temperature?

I think that it does because if it is cold , your body temperature goes lower and if its hot or warm your body temperature will rise
