compare the effects of HCl on protein digestion by pepsin and on starch digestion by salivary amylase. Explain the physiological

significance of these effects.
Physics
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

HCI creates an acidic environment, which promotes the process of pepsin.

When that happens, pepsin is maximally active and works on a fully digestion of the presented protein.

On the other hand HCI prevents the activeness of the amylase, thereby only a small part of starch is digested.

Explanation:

The physiological significance of these effects are: salivary glands found in the mouth which has a neutral pH environment segregates amylase, meanwhile pepsinogen becomes pepsin thanks to the compatibility with this environment.

While pepsin is widely active at a lower pH inside the stomach, amylase activity, on the other hand decreases at lower pH environment.

A motorcycle accelerates from a stop at a rate of 4m/s 2 for 20 seconds. It then continues at a
8_murik_8 [283]

After 20 s, the motorcycle attains a speed of

\left(4\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(20\,\mathrm s)=80\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

and it continues at this speed for the next 40 s. So at 45 s, its speed is 80 m/s.

An electron moves with a constant horizontal velocity of 3.0 × 106 m/s and no initial vertical velocity as it enters a deflector
Ghella [55]

Answer:

a = 5.05 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction

v_{x} = velocity along the horizontal direction = 3.0 x 10⁶ m/s

t = time of travel

X = horizontal distance traveled = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Time of travel can be given as

t = \frac{X}{v_{x}}

inserting the values

t = 0.11/(3.0 x 10⁶)

t = 3.67 x 10⁻⁸ sec

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

Y = vertical distance traveled = 34 cm = 0.34 m

a = acceleration = ?

t = time of travel  = 3.67 x 10⁻⁸ sec

v_{y} = initial velocity along the vertical direction = 0 m/s

Using the kinematics equation

Y = v_{y} t + (0.5) a t²

0.34 = (0) (3.67 x 10⁻⁸) + (0.5) a (3.67 x 10⁻⁸)²

a = 5.05 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

Describe how radio telescopes function.
FrozenT [24]

A radio telescope is simply a telescope that is designed to receive radio waves from space. In its simplest form it has three components:

1. One or more antennas to collect the incoming radio waves. Most antennas are parabolic dishes that reflect the radio waves to a receiver, in the same way as a curved mirror can focus visible light to a point.

2. A receiver and amplifier to boost the very weak radio signal to a measurable level. These days the amplifiers are extremely sensitive and are normally cooled to very low temperatures to minimise interference due to the noise generated by the movement of the atoms in the metal (called thermal noise).

3. A recorder to keep a record of the signal. Most radio telescopes nowadays record directly to some form of computer memory disk as astronomers use sophisticated software to process and analyse the data.
