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.

The various taxonomic levels (e.g. genera, classes, etc.) of the hierarchical classification system differ
Westkost [7]

Answer:

(c) their inclusiveness.

Explanation:

The taxonomic classification has eight levels, they go from the more inclusive to the more exclusive.

The eight categories are: <u>Domain</u> which  is the most inclusive level, that is to say, that the largest number of individuals are included in this level. There are  three domains according to the cells types, and where they live. They are the Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea. Domains are divided into <u>kingdoms</u>, they are the Plantae, protista, Eubacteria, Archaebacteria,  Animalia and Fungi. After kingdoms the <u>Phylum</u> category comes, following Phylum is <u>Class</u>, various classes that are related will form a Phylum. The next category is <u>Order</u>, order is divided into <u>Family,</u> families are broken into <u>Genus</u>, where species are closely related between each other and finally the last category is <u>Especies identifier,</u> in this group there are unique characteristics that will identify a specie. With this classification we can see that we go from global groups  to more specifics ones as the classification avances.
