1. Fundamental Life processes
of plants and animals depend on a variety of chemical reactions that are
carried out in specialized areas of the organism's cells. As a basis for
understanding this concept, students know:
b) enzymes are proteins and
catalyze biochemical reactions without altering the reaction equilibrium.
The activity of enzymes depends on the temperature, ionic conditions and
pH of the surroundings.

of mechanisms to combat diseases. As a basis for understanding the
human immune response, students know:
