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 is the building block of DNA?
Bogdan [553]
Deoxyribonucleoside Triphosphate, which is the more specific form of Deoxyribonucletides.

When DNA is synthesised by DNA polymerase by complimentary base pairing, 2 phosphate groups from Deoxyribonucleoside Triphosphate breaks away, releasing energy from the binding of the Deoxyribonucleotide to the adjacent Deoxyribonucleotide molecule via phosphodiester bond. These molecules will be called Deoxyribonucleoside Monophosphates.

Thus, the general name of the building block of DNA is Deoxyribonucleotide, and the more specific names depend on at which stage of DNA replication you are referring to.

Hope this helps! :)

What is the sidereal period used in Kepler's third law?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Kepler's third law relates the semi-major axis of the orbit to its sidereal period. The major axis is the total length of the long axis of the elliptical orbit (from perihelion to aphelion).

Which abiotic factor most likely controls where the plants live in this environment
Setler [38]

Which abiotic factor most likely controls where the plants live in this environment ?

Oxygen levels for aquatic animals

Oxygen from the air and oxygen produced by aquatic plants dissolves in water. Without this, aquatic animals would suffocate and die. Healthy lakes and rivers have high levels of oxygen, and polluted waters often have low levels of oxygen. This pollution means that only certain species can survive there such as sludgeworms. These are bioindicator species because their presence or absence informs us about the condition of the habitat.

Carbon dioxide levels for plants

Carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis which means plants need it to survive. Areas with higher levels of carbon dioxide are more likely to have healthy plants growing. Farmers often release carbon dioxide within their greenhouses to maximise their crop yield. Woodlands often have higher carbon dioxide levels than open grassland, so many plants living in open areas have evolved mechanisms to overcome a shortage of carbon dioxide.
