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

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).

How does the shape of organ relate to gene expression?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The alleles for MADS-box genes get expressed at different levels. They form the “L” complex and the “SP” complex. These are a group of proteins that determine the shape of the petals. The more they L complex is expressed, the high the probability that the petals of the flower will form the ‘lip’ and the high the SP complex is expressed then the high the likelihood of dominant petals.

For humans, freckles and broad noses are dominant to no freckles and narrow noses. Use the pinned square below to determine the
Gekata [30.6K]

If we name the gene for freckles with F, then the genotypes for having freckles are Ff (heterozygous), FF (dominant homozygous) and for no freckles ff (recessive homozygous).

If we name the gene for nose shape with N, than the genotypes for broad noses are NN (dominant homozygous) and Nn (heterozygous) and for narrow noses nn (recessive homozygous). A cross between two heterozygous:

P: FfNn  x  FfNn

F1:

9/16 are with freckles and broad noses

3/16 are with freckles and narrow noses

3/16 are with no freckles and broad noses

1/16 are with no freckles and narrow noses.

Which of these is most likely to result if biodiversity is lost in an ecosystem
erastovalidia [21]

If biodiversity is lost in an ecosystem, it will lead to decrease in ecosystem resilience. Biodiversity loss is a major concern now. With the extinction of many species, ecosystem might collapse. Removing a single species can result in a partial collapse of the ecosystem. For example: honey bee colony collapse situation. Without honey bees, humans would struggle or fail to grow certain important crops. With more loss of biodiversity it may become hard for our very survival also.
