Why does the enzyme pepsin (present in the stomach) denature in the intestine?

Biology
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]4 years ago
4 0
<span>Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins. Produced in the stomach, pepsin becomes inactive at pH values of 6.5 or more, but it is not fully denatured until it is in an environment with a pH of 8.0. Bile in the small intestine increases the pH value of food from the stomach to make them alkaline, which denatures pepsin.</span>

Two types of stressors that learners are likely to experience in a post school destination as a college or university or the wor
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

financial stress and family stress

Explanation:

When learners go to college or a university, their family expects a lot from them especially when the parents are the ones who brought the learner to study. This causes stress on the learners. Choosing the major can also be stressful, especially when the family intercedes in the learner's decision. This also creates a financial burden on the learner, especially when the learner supports himself. So,<em> he has to balance studying while working.</em> If he has a scholarship, he has to maintain his grades in order to keep up.

In the same way, <u>a person who goes to the workplace is also expected by his family to provide them financially.</u> This creates a financial stress on his end. Besides this, he is also expected to make commitments especially when he has children. He needs to balance working while taking care of his kids and attending to their needs at home and in school. This is how family stress can affect him.
