Lizards are cold blooded. Rabbits are warm blooded. Both run on chemistry, and the chemical reactions must be controlled. If the reactions are too slow or fast, the animal will die. What factors do you suppose that animals use to control the rate that these biochemical reactions are occur?

Expert Solution

Each living organism that survives amidst varying degrees of temperature can control or maintain their body temperature through a process called as thermoregulation .

The thermoregulation techniques regulate the body temperature so that the biochemical processe occuring in the body of the organism involving enzymes can be carried out effectively .

Activities such as panting , sweating etc decreases the body temperature when its hot , and the activities such as shivering increase the temperature making the body warmer in cold bodies . So all organisms have evolved these various techniques to keep their body temperaure under check.

Cold blooded animals are unable to maintain their temperature throughout the year . So you may see lizards active in summers as they are sluggish and least active during winters .

Bonding is at the heart of chemistry. In chemical reactions, bonds are broken and new bonds are made. Individual atoms break free from their original bonding partners and interact and form bonds with a new bonding partner. All this happens nearly instantaneously. The interaction between the orbitals in two bonding atoms leads to molecular orbitals. After thoroughly reviewing atomic orbital theory and molecular orbital theory, respond to the following: Explain how atomic orbitals interact and give rise to molecular orbitals.
