Stimulus - Exercise
Receptor - Part of body you are exercising on
Control Center - brain
Effector - sweat, heart rate increase, dry mouth, etc.
How do enzymes work?
Enzymes break down macromolecules by having a substrate bind to them to form two or more new products. This allows the plant more storage for new macromolecules.
