occur
Biology

tino4ka555 [31]3 years ago
6 0
Digestive enzymes attach to food in order to break down the specific sources of energy such as fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Pepsin which is responsible for breaking down proteins in the stomach thrives in an acidic environment. Once it goes down with the food to the small intestine, which has an alkaline environment, it gets denatured. 

Extreme temperatures also contribute to the denaturing of enzymes.

A seasonal color change helps animals in the taiga to _______.
lianna [129]
The answer is a. evade predators.

Animals that live in taiga had to adapt to seasonal changes, by changing their fur or feather color. For example, snow-show hare and ermine live in taiga and their fur color changes with environmental conditions. To effectively camouflage, their fur is white during the winter. That helps them blend into the snow. In the summer, where there is no snow, their fur is brown and similar to the soil color. This way<span> it is more difficult for their predators to spot them.</span>
