Explain the effects of pre-heating on Pepsi activity​

Biology
1 answer:
sladkih [1.3K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts; catalysts are substances that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being used up (BBC, 2010), without these catalysts it would take an extremely long time for these reactions to take place. The enzyme used in this particular experiment was pepsin; pepsin is a zymogen of pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is activated by hydrochloric acid, which is released from parietal cells in the stomach lining. The hormone gastrin and the vagus nerve trigger the release of both pepsinogen and hydrochloric acid from the stomach lining when food is ingested. Hydrochloric acid creates an acidic environment, which allows pepsinogen to unfold and cleave itself in an autocatalytic fashion, generating pepsin. (Life Science Network, 2010)

A lot can be learnt about enzymes by studying the rate of enzyme catalyzed reactions, these rates of reaction can be studied in various ways. In this experiment, using a range of different temperatures, the enzyme pepsin will be mixed with egg albumen. This is high in protein and bound to the dye Coomassie blue to gain a light absorbance reading using a spectrophotometer and in effect see how much protein has been digested by the pepsin.

The magnitude of an earthquake is a number that represents the what
Llana [10]

One useful point about the moment magnitude scale is that it is logarithmic, where each whole number represents a factor of 32. Therefore, the difference in two whole numbers of the magnitude means that an earthquake is 1,000 times stronger. For example, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake releases 1,000 times more energy than a 5.0 one.

A forest is cut down to plant a field of corn. How will this affect the biodiversity of the area?
zzz [600]
It would affect our environment very badly. The following reasons are why it is bad: 1)Trees are our main supply of oxygen. 2) Corn is slow at converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. 3) Many wildlife creatures (plants and animals) need that ecosystem to live.
