Pepsin, a common enzyme found in the stomach, is most active at pH values between 0.5 and 2.5. It works slowly between pH values

of 2.6 and 3.4. Beyond a pH of about 3.5, it becomes completely inactive. Why does this happen?

Ph value between 0.5 and 2.5 is the optimum temperature of the pepsin which means its the most active. When temperature increase above the optimum temperature it will cause a rapid decrease in the rate of reaction. High temperature breaks the bond that keeps the enzyme (pepsin) in shape. The enzyme will denature and become inactive.

B) The proteins chain in the enzyme is denatured, permanently inactivating it as the pH approaches

Do hurricanes occur in the Midwest? Why or why not?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Hurricanes are not common in the Midwest. However, if a hurricane is particularly strong, it can move far enough northward and inland to cause a significant rain event for areas in the Midwest.

evablogger [386]

The border between the transparent edge of the cornea and the white of the fibrous sclera is the limbus. The limbus contains clusters of limbal stem cells that help to maintain the corneal epithelium and to regulate corneal transparency and vision throughout life. The limbus also acts as a boundary that protects the conjunctiva and its blood vessels.

Which hypothesis helps to explain why all organisms share the same genetic code?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

There are two possible answers: Deep-sea vents provided the energy needed for the first organic compounds to form OR self-replicating RNA molecules passed on genetic information.

Explanation:

The reason for the first answer is due to the hypothesis that indicates that life (organic molecules) arose from inorganic molecules synthesized from the amino acids in those energy vents. This is called the metabolism first hypothesis. The Miller-Urey Experiment provided evidence that organisms could rise from inorganic molecules (they simulated under the conditions you would see on early Earth). The second hypothesis is the RNA World hypothesis (second answer) which suggests that the formation of RNA that could replicate (possible due to mutation or evolution), led to life that could preserve its genetic integrity through replication (greater stability to the organism) and create lipid bi-layer membranes/other organelles. Some scientists support the Metabolism First Hypothesis, while others are skeptical (this goes for the RNA World Hypothesis as well). However, the RNA World Hypothesis is for more reasonable in the fact that its main point is the fact that RNA molecules were able to replicate and maintain genetic stability despite early Earth conditions. Although either hypothesis could explain why all organisms share the same genetic code, the RNA World Hypothesis better explains the universality of DNA/RNA of genes that we see today.
