Why would the pancreatic enzyme trypsin be non-functional if it was secreted in the stomach instead of the pancreas?

Biology
1 answer:
mel-nik [20]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

-Due to acidic pH of stomach.

Explanation:

Enzymes are generally made up of protein molecules and work at an optimum pH and temperature. This is because at change in pH and temperature leads to denaturation of proteins that cause change in active site of enzyme.

For trypsin, optimum pH is slightly basic as pH (7.5). So, trypsin would become non-functional at acidic pH due to denaturation and loss of active site.

Trypsin is a pancreatic enzyme that works at small intestine as pH of small intestine is slightly basic.Thus, if the trypsin was secreted in stomach instead of pancreas, it would be non-functional as stomach has acidic pH due to stomach acid.

Which of the following does NOT affect the flow of groundwater through an aquifer ? a. porosity C. gradient b . chemical weather
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

b . chemical weathering

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is not affected the flow of groundwater through an aquifer but affect by the porosity and permeability. The rate of groundwater flow is controlled by two properties of the rock which are porosity and permeability. Porosity is the percentage of void space in a rock while on the other hand, Permeability is the quality of being permeable means able to be penetrated or passed through by a liquid or gas.

That question, this incomplete. The full question is:

3. Three redwood trees are kept at different humidity levels inside a greenhouse for 12 weeks. One tree is left outside in normal conditions. The heights of the trees are measured once a week. What are the dependent variables, independent and the controlled variable of this experiment?

Answer:

  • Independent variable: different humidity levels
  • Dependent variable: the heights of the trees
  • controlled variable: the types of trees

Explanation:

An independent variable is one that exerts an influence within the experiment and can be measured, acting on other elements to promote the observation of a result. As the experiment seeks to observe the influence of humidity on the height of the tree, we can say that humidity is the independent variable.

Dependent variable is that which is influenced by the independent variable to generate a result that can be observed, can also be measured. As the experiment wishes to analyze how the height of the trees was affected by the level of humidity, we can say that the height of the trees is the dependent variable.

Controlled variable is that which is present in the experiment in a constant and equal way, cannot be measured. This variable is the type of trees.

Colony stimulating factors will result in A. platelet production B. fibrinolysis C. white blood cell production D. the productio
____ [38]

Answer:

(C). white blood cell production

Explanation:

CSFs (colony stimulating factors) are glycoproteins that activate intracelluar pathways and promote proliferation of hemopoietic stem cell to form immune cells (white blood cells).

CSFs are released in response to infection and interacts with blood stem cells to produce new immune cells. These resulting new immune cells create an army of cells to fight against the infection and provide immunity.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
