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.

Answer:

Regulate heat throughout it's body,

Explanation:

Countercurrent Heat Exchange is a normal and varied mechanism in organisms that utilizes parallel pipes of flowing fluid in opposite directions in order to save energy, such as blood flow. For example, a whale's tongue uses this system through the blood flow to the tip of the tongue, where the countercurrent heat exchange system heats up blood returning to the body.
