(6.4) Homeostasis Basics - Coggle Diagram

- - - - affect enzyme activity & enzymes control rate of metabolic reaction
  - - - molecules vibrate too much & H bonds in tertiary structure break - active site changes & no longer works as a catalyst
      - metabolic reactions less efficient
        
        occur most efficiently at optimum temp (37C)
  - - - H bonds in tertiary structure break & active site shape changes
      - highest rate of metabolic reactions at optimum pH
  - - - water potential = likelihood of water molecules to diffuse in or out of a solution
      - if blood glucose too high - water potential of blood reduced, water diffuses out cells via osmosis
        
        cells shrivel & die
      - if blood glucose too low - cells unable to carry out normal functions, not enough glucose for respiration to produce energy
