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).

What led to food shortages in the Philippines
Sloan [31]

The economy of the Philippines is heavily dependent on agriculture. Most of what constitutes food security in the country depends on the agricultural sector; therefore, challenges faced by Filipino farmers and fishermen often have a detrimental effect on food security in the country.

The challenge often does not come from the quality of terrain, as seen in Djibouti. The Philippines is full of fertile lands ready to be cultivated for agriculture. It is the inconsistency of supply due to external disruptions from both controllable and uncontrollable factors that pose a challenge to food availability in the country.

The Philippines’ location in the middle of the Pacific makes the country susceptible to typhoons and droughts, some with devastating effects. Last year, a dry spell caused by the El Nino phenomenon destroyed 349,630 metric tons of crops, worth about On the other hand, the string of typhoons that ravaged the country at the end of the year notably slowed down the national agricultural growth rate
