<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>

What statement is true of prions?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Prions are abnormally shaped proteins that cause spongiform encephalopathies. (Ans C)

Explanation:

Prions : Prions are proteinaceous infectious particle or misfolded proteins with the ability to transmit their misfolded shape into normal shape protein.  They are also responsible for some neurodegenerative diseases in mammals. They can affect both animals as well as humans.

Prion disease occurs when normal prion protein (present on the surface of many cells) becomes clump (abnormal) in the brain. This accumulation of abnormal protein in the brain can cause disease.

Spongiform encephalopathies also called prion disease. Spongiform encephalopathies affect the nervous system and brain of animals & humans. It is caused by a degeneration of brain tissues giving it a spongy appearance.

2. Ovule is odd among gene, chromosome, allele, ovule because ovule develops into a seed when fertilized and is not a part of genetic material DNA while the other three are part of genetic material.

3. Oxidation is odd among diffusion, imbibition, and osmosis because other belongs to the method of conduction of water and minerals by plants.

4. Inflorescence is odd among seed shape, seed colour and flower position because inflorescence is a group pf flower is flower axis while other belongs to a characteristic of a single or individual flower.

Hence, the correct answer is:

1. night blindness

2. Ovule

3. Oxidation

4. Inflorescence
