The pepsin would become denatured and inactivated as its optimum pH is acidic, because acidic pH is found in the stomach.

Answer:

The pepsin would become inactive.

Explanation:

Pepsin only remains active up to a pH of about 4.8. If the pH is any higher than this, the pepsin's folds will become so distorted that its active site will no longer function. Thus, pepsin is only able to catalyze the digestion of proteins in the highly acidic environment of the stomach.

ATP is produced via prototrophy, fermentation, and aerobic respiration, and it is used for mechanical, transport, and chemical work.

<h3>Which of the following types of work is powered by the energy produced when ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi?</h3>

A nucleotide, a sugar with five carbons, and three phosphate groups make up ATP. Phosphoanhydride bonds, which link the phosphates, contain a considerable amount of energy. Cellular work is accomplished using the energy generated by the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP + Pi.

<h3>What are the two mechanisms that, when combined, form oxidative phosphorylation and are connected throughout the ETC?</h3>

The electron transport chain and chemiosmosis are two parts of oxidative phosphorylation that are interdependent. When electrons are transferred from one molecule to another in the electron transport chain, energy is released.
