If Pepsin and Trypsin had to function together, which PH would produce the highest activity? How is this answer found?

2 answers:

8 0

The proper environments for Pepsin are acidic, particularly those with a pH of 1.5 to 2. Optimal operating pH for Trypsins is of about 8. It seems that the highest level of activity for the two if they were in the same environment would have to be midway between their optimum range - about pH 5.

Answer:

At neutral pH.

Explanation:

Trypsin and pepsin are protease enzymes that help in breakdown of large protein molecules. These enzymes are known as digestive enzymes as tripsin is produced by pancreas and pepsin is produced by stomach for digestion.

As pepsin acts on proteins in stomach, it works optimally at acidic pH. This is pH of stomach is acidic due to hydrochloric acid, produced by cells of stomach.

On the other hand, trypsin works optimally at basic pH. This is because trypsin acts on protein molecules in small intestine, where pH is slight basic due to sodium bicarbonate ions.

Thus, if pepsin and trypsin have to function together, they will show highest activity at neutral pH (pH between acidic and basic pH).

Answer:

1. Muscle: soft, contractile tissue important to produce force and motion in animals.

2. Fascicle: multiple bundles of skeletal muscle fibres which is surrounded by a type of connective tissue called perimysium.

3. Muscle fibres: bundles of cylindrical organelles myofibrils formed by the fusion of myoblasts via myogenesis process.

4. Myo-fibril: basic unit of a muscle cell made of thick and thin myofilament arranged in parallel columns along the length of muscle fibres.

5. Myo-filament: strands of actin and myosin proteins which pack a muscle fiber and are force generating structures.

Each of the following microorganisms typically inhabit the damaged tissue in acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) exce

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:the correct option is B

(Streptococcus).

Explanation:

Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) occurs due to poor oral hygiene which encourages plaque to form on teeth, causing inflammation of the surrounding gum tissues. The microorganisms that are known to inhabit the damaged tissues are oral spirochaete which includes Borrelia,Fusobacteria, Bacteroidese and Peptostreptococcus. Streptococcus is not an oral spirochaete therefore is excluded. I hope this helps.
