    • Enzymes
      • enzymes are biological catalysts
      • enzymes are proteins
      • usually denatured at 45 degrees.
      • they're folded into complex shapes which allow smaller molecules to fit into them.
      • as the temp increases, so does the rate of reaction.
      • very high temperatures can denature enzymes.
    • improving experiments
      • do the experiment more than once.
      • the more data you have, the more accurate your findings are.
      • do the experiment exactly the same way. Don't change the variables.
    • circulatory system
      • the circularly system permits blood to travel round the body.
      • transports nutrients, hormones, carbon dioxide and blood cells
      • helps protect against diseases and maintains a regular temperature.
      • carries oxygen and nutrients into the blood tissue.
    • blood pressure
      • pressure of circulating blood o the walls of blood vessels.
      • usually refers to the pressure in large arteries.
      • influenced by cardiac output
      • Blood pressure that is low due to a disease state is called hypotension
    • red blood cells
      • In humans, mature red blood cells are flexible and oval biconcave disks.
      • Approximately 2.4 million new erythrocytes are produced per second in human adults
