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.

Novosadov [1.4K]

        The right answer here is option C. They occur in areas with ancient, mineral-poor soil.

         An example of that is Amazonia in Brazil, it's one of the biggest forests on earth, and at the same time, we know its soil is poor, but at the same time it has some special materials that can be found there, such as niobium. This forest is, too, rainy almost all the time, and this many trees maintain the temperature of the whole earth stabilized. These kinds of forests can grow in this soil because of the burlap, that's organic materials from its own trees. It's consumed by them, and through this way, it survives and extends its size when humans don't use its resources too much.
