Enzymatic breakdown of which of the following compounds doesn’t begin until it reaches the stomach?

Biology
1 answer:
ahrayia [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B. Proteins

Explanation:

Salivary amylase is an enzyme that starts the breakdown of starch in the mouth. Gastric glands of the stomach secrete gastric juice, which contains HCl to kill bacteria and denatures proteins, intrinsic factors, and the enzyme pepsin. The chief cells of gastric glands secrete pepsinogen (an inactive form of pepsin).

Pepsin begins the digestion of proteins in the stomach. It breaks down certain peptide bonds between amino acids and thereby, breaks down protein chain into smaller peptide fragments. Pepsin requires a very acidic environment of the stomach (pH 2) and becomes inactive at a higher pH.

atroni [7]
Qualitative analytic methods are needed to determine THE IDENTITY OF THE POISON USED IN A MURDER.
Quantitative analytic methods are used to identify unknown materials such as chemical compounds, poisons, etc. In a criminal investigation case, qualitative analytic method can be used to identify the particular poison that was used to murder a victim. Qualitative methods do not involve numeric data or figures while quantitative methods typically has to do with the quantity of a substance that is involved in a particular situation.This is basic difference between the two methods.

A purple-flowered pea plant is crossed with a white-flowered pea plant. All the F1 plants produced purple flowers. When the F1 p
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Parentals: PP (purple) and pp (white)

F1: Pp (purple)

Explanation:

When the two parental plants of differing phenotypes (purple or white flowers) cross, the F1 is 100% purple. This result suggests that the parentals were true breeding (homozygous), with purple flowers being the dominant allele.

When the F1 self pollinates, the F2 shows proportions very similar to 3/4 purple and 1/4 white (401/532 ≅ 3/4 and 131/532 ≅ 1/4). The 3:1 phenotypic ratio is typical of the offspring resulting from a cross between two heterozygous individuals.

The results make sense if the genotypes of the different generations are:

Parentals: PP (purple) X pp (white)

F1:                          Pp (purple)

F2:  1/4 PP, 2/4 Pp, 1/4 pp
