Answer:
Enzyme- Peptidase/protease
Explanation:
According to this question, a student is conducting an experiment to determine the roles of molecules in metabolic processes such as digestion. Based on what she found out that the molecule, which itself can be broken down into amino acids, can also break down proteins into amino acids, this suggests that the molecule being described is a PROTEOLYTIC ENZYME.
This is because an enzyme is made up of proteins which can be denatured or broken down into its simplest unit (amino acids) and also, a substance that breaks down amino acid is said to be PROTEOLYTIC.
However, another observation that the molecule is found in high concentrations in the small intestine was made, hence, the enzyme is a PEPTIDASE OR PROTEASE, which are secreted into the small intestine by the pancreas to aid digestion of proteins.
Because b appears to be an intrusion, the answer should be A.
It conserves fossil fuels. The other options are disadvantageous
These three statements are known as The Cell Theory.
