Answer 7

Nerdy is right :). Basically, a catalyst is something that increases the rate of a chemical reaction. An enzyme is a biological catalyst. So for an example, there are enzymes in your digestive system that help speed up the digestion of your food :).

Answer 8

As for hormones, they are a regulatory substance that travel through the blood stream. The pituitary gland is were many hormones are made/stored. The hormone oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland. It stimulates the uterus to contract and begin labor. It also stimulates the let-down reflex in the breasts to get milk flowing for breastfeeding.

Answer 18

Ok. I'm just wondering how much of the textbook reading you did. All of this is information that I'm sure was in some sort of reading material. This is all just basic definitions.

Answer 21

oh ok. Well I will do a few more, but I have to go soon. An antibody is a protein in the blood that is produced in response to and counteracting an antigen.They combine chemically with 'alien' products in the blood, or something that doesn't belong there. This can be viruses, bad bacteria, and any other kind of foreign substance. Not really sure what an example of one would be.
