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.

Explain how changing temperature leads to an unstable ecosystem
cestrela7 [59]
An ecosystem composes of an environment and the organisms that interact with said environment. Changing temperature leads to an unstable ecosystem because of two things; failure of adaptation for the environment, or failure of adaptations for the animals.
If the environment fails to adapt to a change in temperature, plants will die, thus causing herbivores to die and the whole food web/chain to disrupt. (Im not really going in to deep detail, but plants can die from the soil failing to fertilize.)
For animals, it may also disrupt the food chain, but natural resources such as water may be needed more in the heat. If said animal doesnt have the adaptations to compete in such an event, they die. Also, especially if the environment was previously a desert, all adaptations will be useless, and other animals will start to move in. More competition. Not only that, if the ecosystems temperature decreases, for example, many animals might die from the cold and such. They do not hibernate/ have the adaptations of an animal that lives in the cold.

All in all, changing temperature can cause an unstable ecosystem because it can disrupt the food chain/web, kill plants, kill animals, cause an increase of animals, cause a decrees of natural resources (such as water) and much more.

(Sorry for grammar, I'm on mobile and not really paying attention to it. im not really double checking my spelling because im trying to give you the information, not really write it for you as that would be too much work)
