Answer:

Activates pepsin enzyme

Explanation:

  • Carbohydrates are digested into maltose in the mouth and protein digestion begins in the stomach.  
  • In the stomach, food undergoes chemical as well as physical digestion.
  • Due to the peristaltic action of the muscles the bolus breaks up in the stomach wall and mixes well into a chyme. ( <em>Physical digestion</em> )
  • Several secretions flow into the stomach.
  • It is collectively known as gastric juice.
  • Also the juice contains pepsin and HCL acid.
  • Here, the enzyme pepsin acts on the proteins in the food and forms polypeptides, which are intermediate products of life. ( <em>Chemical digestion</em> )
  • And  the function of the HCL acid  is to stimulate pepsin enzyme and make it active

Elements in other groups have partially-filled valence shells and gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

They are extremely unreactive and do not form bonds with themselves. Solid helium is the the ultimate fine powder being monotomic.

How did the lab activities help you answer the lesson question, "How do atmospheric conditions influence weather patterns?" What
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

In the lab, I discovered the air pressure, air temperature, and relative humidity conditions that create snow, rain, thunderstorms, fog, and clear skies. I learned that low-pressure areas usually experience snowy, rainy, and stormy weather, and that high-pressure areas usually experience either foggy or sunny weather. Knowing how these atmospheric conditions influence weather help weather forecasters predict weather patterns through maps and other information.
