Answer:

(d) None of the above

Explanation:

The pH of your stomach must be highly acidic, because the optimum pH for pepsin, the chief stomach enzyme, is 1.5.

(a) and (b) are wrong, because both conditions are basic.

(c) is wrong, because pH 7 is neutral.

Answer:

d) none of the above

Explanation:

In the stomach, the upper and lower parts of the stomach have different pH values.

The upper part has a pH ranging from 4 to 6.5, while the lower part is highly acidic, with a pH ranging from 1.5 to 4.

The hydrochloric acid(HCl) found in gastric juice helps promote pH reduction to destroy bacteria present in food, and also allowing the action of enzymes like pepsin and tripsin, as HCl can reduce the pH to values below 2.5 so that the food goes into the intestine during the digestion process.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the correct alternative is D, since the ideal stomach pH must be acidic (pH values ​​below 7).

Which characteristic do protozoans Foraminiferans (Phylum Sarcodines) and coccolithophores (Phylum Haptophyta) have in common?
shtirl [24]

The common characteristic of those two organisms is hard spherical shells (exoskeleton).

Foraminiferans are single cell marine eukaryotes divided into granular endoplasm and transparent ectoplasm. Foraminiferans are enveloped with tests, hard shells, usually composed of calcium carbonate (sometimes from organic compounds or silica).

Coccolithophore is a unicellular, eukaryotic alga with special calcium carbonate plates (or scales) of uncertain function (coccoliths). Each unicellular alga is enclosed in its own collection of coccoliths, the which make up its exoskeleton- coccosphere.
