I know that the stomach secretes pepsin. So eliminate C and D. that leaves us with A and B. I think that the best answer to this is B, thats my finial answer:)

Answer: The correct answer is- B. The stomach is no longer secreting pepsin.

Pepsin is a protein digesting enzyme, which is produced in the stomach to convert proteins into small peptides. In other words, it performs protein digestion in the stomach.

As per the information in the question, a doctor hypothesizes that a patient's digestive system is not properly secreting digestive enzymes.

Bile is secreted by liver for the digestion of lipids in small intestine whereas pancreas secrete pancreatic juice containing various enzymes for food digestion in small intestine.

Thus, out of the given options, B) is the most  plausible diagnosis.

What are the three types of forests age and structure? ​
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Tropical rain forests grow around the equator in South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia,  The temperature is stable year-round, around 27°C (60° Fahrenheit). As you can tell from the name, it rains a lot in these forests. Most tropical forests receive at least 200 cm (80 inches) of rain in a year. Tropical forests generally have a rainy and dry season. Temperate forests occur in the next latitude ring, in North America, northeastern Asia, and Europe, temperature ranges from -30 to 30°C (-22 to 86 F) and the forests receive 75-150 cm (30-60 in) of precipitation per year,

Answer:

Temperature: Raising temperature generally speeds up a reaction, and lowering temperature slows down a reaction. However, extreme high temperatures can cause an enzyme to lose its shape (denature) and stop working. pH: Each enzyme has an optimum pH range.

<h2>Flagging pathway EGFR development       </h2>

Explanation:

  • The epidermal development factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) is a receptor tyrosine kinase associated with the guideline of cell development, wound mending, and tissue fix. When EGF ties to the EGFR, a course of downstream occasions makes the cell develop and isolate. In the event that EGFR is actuated at improper occasions, uncontrolled cell development (malignancy) may happen.
  • After the ligand ties to the phone surface receptor, the initiation of the receptor's intracellular parts sets off a chain of occasions that is known as a flagging pathway, here and there called a flagging course. In a flagging pathway, second delivery people catalysts and enacted proteins interface with explicit proteins, which are thus initiated in a chain response that in the long run prompts an adjustment in the cell's condition  
  • For example, an expansion in digestion or explicit quality articulation. The occasions in the course happen in an arrangement, much like an ebb and flow streams in a waterway. Collaborations that happen before a specific point are characterized as upstream occasions, and occasions after that point are called downstream occasions.
