It has a very low pH already , so the test requires the visualization of a diminishing in pH, it may be hard to identify.   
The ideal pH of gastric lipase is 3 – 6, implying that gastric lipase does not work at its ideal pH in the stomach   
A lipase is any catalyst that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats (lipids). Lipases are a subclass of the esterases. Lipases perform basic parts in the absorption, transport and preparing of dietary lipids

The  reason  why  you  cant  test  the  activity  of  Lipase in  test  tube  5  is  because in test  tube  5  the  PH  is  low.  This  decrease  in  pH  might  make   it  difficult  to  detect  the  activity  of  lipase  since  the  optimal  ph  of   pancreatic  lipase  is  around  8.0.  generally  high   or   low  PH  result   to  complete  loss  of  activities  of  most  enzymes.

What is the chemical reaction used to study enzyme activity in the lab (lactase breaking down lactose into its monomers). Know t
Bas_tet [7]

Answer: The chemical reaction in this example is Called hydrolysis in the presence of Lactase

Here is a word equation for the hydrolysis of lactose:

lactose + water → galactose + glucose

Explanation: The equation is called <hydro> + <lysis) of these terms refer to water and splitting respectively. So hydrolysis means splitting with water. Enzymes pull out a monomer by examining where the monomers are connected, and placing a water molecule in between them, resulting in the breakage of the bond between the monomers. Here are two picture to represent it.

Water moves between the ocean, atmosphere, and land. In which form does water enter the atmosphere?Select one of the options bel
zysi [14]
The answer is B.

Water in the form of vapor enter the atmosphere. The vapor accumulates in the atmosphere to form clouds. Once the clouds are heavy enough, the water in the form of droplets fall towards land or as rain. It could also be in the form of other precipitation such as snow or hail. As the sun hits the waters in the land, it causes the water to evaporate and the cycle continues.
