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.

Carine went to the doctor for a physical. Her blood pressure was 80/50. What describes Carine’s condition, and what is the most
Korolek [52]

Hello!! Since there is no mention of weight in the question, I would assume that she is pregnant. Whenever someone's blood pressure is low, it is referred to hypotension. Whenever someone's blood pressure is high, it is referred to hypertension. I would say your best answer is A - She has hypotension because she is pregnant. I hope that is the right answer you are looking for. Have a great day!! :)
