Explain the effects of pre-heating on Pepsi activity​

Biology

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.

Unicellular and simple multicellular organisms isolate and eliminate waste materials by:
elixir [45]

Answer:

The correct option is d.

Unicellular and simple multicellular organisms isolate and eliminate waste materials by: <u>moving the wastes into a contractile vacuole and eliminating them through exocytosis.</u>

Explanation:

In all living systems, from prokaryotes to more complex multicellular eukaryotes, the regulation of substance exchange with the inanimate world occurs at the level of the individual cell and is performed by the cell membrane. The cell membrane regulates the passage of materials into and out of the cell, a function that makes it possible for the cell to maintain its structural and functional integrity. This regulation depends on interactions between the membrane and the materials that pass through it. Non-assimilable substances accumulate in vacuoles or fuse with the plasma membrane, and exocytosis expels their contents.

Exocytosis is an inverse process of endocytosis, in which an intracellular vesicle approaches the plasma membrane fusing with it so that the content of said vesicle is poured into the extracellular environment. By exocytosis, the cell can expel the remains of the cell digestion process that are not useful to it and also the secretion products from the Golgi apparatus in the form of secretory vesicles. If too much water enters the cell, it could dilute the cell contents to the point of interfering with biological functions and could eventually break the cell membrane. In the Paramecium, there is a specialized organelle, the contractile vacuole, which prevents this from happening since it collects water from various parts of the cell and pumps it out with rhythmic contractions.

tester [92]

Answer: White pulp of the spleen

Explanation:

The white pulp of the spleen is that region found in the spleen which appears white in color.

It appears whiter than the surrounding red pulp on the gross section which consitutes to about 25% of the whole splenic tissue.

This area has antigen presenting cells and dendritic cells and macrophages. Some of the cells there are known as metallophillic mcrophages which helps in keeping the body free from diseases.
