Pepsin is a digestive enzyme. It is made in an inactive form, pepsinogen, which is activated by the acidity of the stomach to se

lf-cleave. The cleaved molecule is active pepsin, which goes on to cleave more pepsinogen molecules, leading to a cascade of rapid pepsin activation. This pathway is an example of:

Answer: Positive feedback loop

Explanation:

Even before the food reaches the stomach (before ingesting it), the glands of the stomach mucosa begin to release its gastric secretion. The main characteristic of this secretion is acidity, as measured by pH (one of the physiological variables).

This acidity is a result of the presence of hydrochloric acid, which is part of the secretion composition. In addition to it, water, pepsinogen (which will give rise to the enzyme pepsin) and the intrinsic factor. The acid has a function of the protection of the entire system by eliminating microorganisms. It is also responsible for the activation of pepsin (which only occurs with acid pH), the enzyme that digests proteins containing the amino acids leucine or phenylalanine or tryptophan or tyrosine.

The concept of Positive feedback loop states that the body tries to increase the value of a variable (acidity, in the case of pepsinogen) when it is below its optimal value (called a point adjustment) and decreases this value when it is above optimal.

How can no color change in the broth and a conversion to a yellow color both be considered negative results?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

A Pure bacterial culture must be grown in sterile tryptophan or peptone broth for 24–48 hours before performing the test. A sterile environment helps to avoid contamination.

When a test is conducted and it shows the presence of a red or red-violet color in the surface alcohol layer it means the result is positive

But when the colour is yellow it indicate negative reaction due to glucose fermentation.

A deviation from two color may also occur when we have an orange color. This colour change is due to the presence of methyl indole

When there is no color change this indicate No decarboxylase which is an enzyme needed for the fermentation reaction.

Color changes are indicator of how successful the reaction was.
