Pepsin is an enzyme found in the human stomach that breaks down protein and will not break down starch because enzymes only work for specific substrates.

<h3>What is an Enzyme?</h3>

This is defined as a biological catalyst which helps to speed the rate of chemical reaction in the body. They are also substrate specific which means they can't act on any type of substance.

Pepsin is an enzyme which breaks down protein substances which is therefore the reason why it won't act on other food substances such as carbohydrate etc.

The ability of one person to produce over a million different antibody molecules does not require over a million different genes
Tema [17]

Answer:

DNA rearrangment.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

The human somatic cell is made up of 46 chromosomes which are sub-divided into 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes (X and Y). An autosome is one of the numbered chromosome that is typically not a sex chromosome.

On the other hand, sex chromosomes (X and Y) are responsible for determining the gender or sex of living organisms such as humans.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is an organic complex-molecular structure found in all living organisms. It comprises of genes and is essentially the foundation block of all living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

DNA rearrangment can be defined as a process which typically involves re-writing the informations contained within a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) into a Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) by enzyme RNA polymerase.

Hence, the ability of an individual to produce over a million different antibody molecules doesn't require the use of over a million different genes; rather, this wide range of antibody production is due to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) rearrangment.

1. Why are new biomedical products created and what factors influence them to evolve over
Zanzabum

Answer:

Rapid progress in biomedical science has also encouraged the development of multiple successful medical technologies, but their translation into clinical use has posed complex scientific, cultural, and social problems. As demonstrated by the development of new acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) medications, the rise of these problems is spurring new interest in medical innovation.

Biomedical products are created for better results in medical technology including autoclave / sterilizer, anesthesia machine, aspiration/suction pump, and blood chemistry analyzer etcetra.

Factors influencing them includes harmful effect on other body parts ( beta blockers have harmful effect on heart), outdating technology, and introduction of evolved diseases that is not abl to cure with old products.
