Digestive enzymes help to break down food in its simplest form. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme which leads to the degradation of proteins in the stomach. It is produced as pepsinogen and converted to active pepsin in the stomach by the removal of several amino acids.

<h3>What is pepsin?</h3>

Pepsin is a digestive enzyme which is present mainly in the gastric juice in stomach and helps to breakdown protein into peptides.

This pepsin is present in the stomach in the form of inactive pepsinogen. This pepsinogen gets active in the stomach by the action of hydrochloric acid.

Pepsinogen gets active and forms pepsin.

Thus, it can be concluded that the digestive enzyme pepsin degrades protein in stomach and is synthesized as pepsinogen and gets converted into active pepsin in stomach by removal of several amino acids.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Decrease in burning of fossil fuels will affect carbon cycle the most. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Carbon compounds circulate within the biosphere as part of carbon cycle.  In terrestrial ecosystems Plants acquire carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and in aquatic ecosystems plankton absorb carbon dioxide.  

Dead plants bodies deposited underground for a large number of years get converted to fossil fuels and the burning of these fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is also released into the atmosphere through processes like respiration and decomposition of dead organic matter. If burning of fossil fuels is decreased it will be the carbon cycle which will be affected the most.
