Answer:

The correct option is: c. ​The synthesis and degradation of body proteins

Explanation:

Protein turnover refers to the <u>process of breakdown of the old protein molecules and its replacement in the human body.</u> It involves the following two processes: protein degradation and protein synthesis.

The protein degradation occurs in the lysosomes and in the cytoplasmic complex known as proteasome. Whereas, protein synthesis occurs on the ribosomes.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A. pH

Explanation:

Denaturation of proteins is a protein whereby the protein molecule loses its primary structure and ultimately its physical functioning as a result of factors including pH, temperature or concentration of chemicals. Based on this definition, it is visible that denaturation of proteins can be caused by these three factors: pH, chemical and temperature.

However, in this case of PEPSIN enzyme, which is a proteinous molecule produced in the stomach of humans and functions in breaking down proteins, its denaturation occurs as it moves along the digestive tract to the intestines. This is as a result of the changes in pH in the digestive tract.

The pH of the stomach where pepsin is produced is acidic i.e. <3.0. However, as one moves towards the intestine, the pH increases, which is unfavorable or considered harsh for the pepsin enzyme. Hence, it gets denatured.
