Question

The process of transferring energy during respiration occurs in a series of steps. This prevents too much heat from being released at one time. Maintaining an appropriate temperature is beneficial to an organism because A) enzymes need a proper range of temperatures to catalyze vital reactions B) cellular waste products can only be excreted in cooler temperatures C) hormones can only produce antibodies if temperatures are not excessive D) nutrients diffuse faster into cells when temperatures are lower

Answer 1

A) enzymes need a proper range of temperatures to catalyze vital reactions

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process by which living cells synthesize ATP (energy). The synthesized energy is transferred for use in other activities. However, as stated in this question, the process of transferring energy during respiration occurs in a series of steps in order to prevent too much heat from being released at once.

The process whereby the living organism maintains an appropriate internal temperature is called HOMEOSTASIS, which is beneficial and key to an organism's survival because because enzymes need a proper range of temperatures to catalyze vital reactions. Enzymes are proteinous catalysts that gets denatured by certain factors such as high temperature, pH.
