Answer:
Digestive system breakdown small proteins into amino acids by chemical digestion using enzymes (option B).
Explanation:
One of the main functions of the digestive system is to degrade food to facilitate its absorption at the intestinal level. This degradation has a mechanical phase, which includes chewing and contracting the stomach, and an enzymatic phase.
The enzymes that allow the breakdown of proteins into amino acids are called proteases, or peptidases. They are enzymes capable of breaking peptide bonds, obtaining at the end amino acids that can be more easily assimilated by the organism.
<em>The other options are not correct because </em><u><em>mechanical digestion</em></u><em> reduces the size of the digested food and mixes it with the gastric juices, but does not break the peptide bonds.</em>
Answer:
Viral diseases
Explanation:
Interferon is a prescription medication that is used to treat viral diseases. It contains a group of signaling proteins produced and released by host cells in response to the presence of several viruses. Interferons help the body immune system fight viral diseases. It is produced in the body by white blood cells. For example; a virus infected cell will release interferons to help heighten it antiviral defenses when confronted by viral diseases such as Hepatitis B.
