GREYUIT [131]4 years ago

<span>Amylase needs an optimum pH for its activity. It is in the range of 6-7. Below or above pH will denature this enzyme. The pH level is optimum for this enzyme in the mouth and hence it catalyses the break down of sugar. The pH level of stomach is lower than its optimum level duet to the activity of gastric acid. Hence the enzyme becomes inactive in the stomach.</span>

True or false? most antigens are large, complex molecules that are not normally present in the body.
MAVERICK [17]
The answer is true.
<span>Antigens are molecules capable to induce an immune response, "targeted" by antibodies. Antigens are usually proteins, peptides, or polysaccharides but they can combine with lipids and nucleic acids and form more complex antigens (lipopolysaccharide). Usually, antigens are exogenous (foreign substances), but sometimes are part of the host itself (in an autoimmune disease). All of them contain an epitope which is a part of an antigen that can be recognized and bound by an antibody.</span>

Why can you not prove a hypothesis
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

To conclude, you cannot prove a hypothesis because you can never generalise the results to the whole population and foresee the results will always be the same in the future. You can however, reject the null hypothesis consistently, through statistical hypothesis testing so that the theory becomes highly likely to be true, but not proven.
