In the stomach, the enzyme pepsin has the function to break proteins into smaller units-polypeptides. Pepsin is synthesized and secreted in an inactive form- pepsinogen. Activation energy (the minimum amount of energy that is required to activate an enzyme) is achieved in the acidic medium (pH from 1 to 3). So, the activation of pepsin (conversion of pepsinogen to pepsin) is possible thanks to the cells in the stomach lining which produce hydrochloric acid (HCl), causing the stomach contents to have a low pH.

Antacids neutralize the acid made by the stomach, affecting the digestion.

Answer:

reduced release of gastric juices that provides activation energy for enzymes to carry out digestion of proteins.

Explanation:

Antacids are agents usually taken for reducing the acidity of stomach by neutralizing it . Due to this the pH of the stomach becomes very low. All enzymes which require a specific pH to digest enzyme are unable to perform in such environment as they are not able to activate themselves in lieu to reduced activation energy. Thus, the protein could not be digested effectively in an environment having antacid.

An eccentric millionaire botanist has offered a $25,000 scholarship to anyone who can successfully get a plant to grow through a
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Option B, Apply auxin directly to the lower part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.

Explanation:

Options for the question are

A) Apply auxin directly to the shoot tip on the side to which you want the tip to bend.

B) Apply auxin directly to the lower part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.

C) Inject compounds that block auxin receptors into the part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.

D) Plant the roots in two different pots, and apply auxin to the root bucket that is on the same side as the direction you want the plant to bend.

Solution

Auxin is responsible for stem elongation by inhibiting growth of lateral buds. The movement of auxin is opposite to the direction of elongation of cells. Generally, Auxin moves to the dark side which is opposite to the direction i.e the lighter side in which cell elongate . Due to this growth pattern, the stem tip gets curved towards the light.  

Hence, option B is correct
