6 0

Answer:

There are 3 major proteolytic enzymes produced naturally in our digestive tract.

Explanation:

The 3 enzymes are

  1. Pepsin

It is an endo peptidase, which breaks the proteins into smaller polypeptides. It is produced by chief cells of stomach lining.

    2. Trypsin

Trypsin acts on the proteins in small intestine. It is also called as proteinase. It is produced in the inactive form which is trypsinogen and is produced by the pancreas.

It acts on basic amino acids like arginine and lysine.

   3. Chymotrypsin

It breaks down proteins into individual amino acids inside small intestine. It specifically breaks aromatic amino acids like tryptophan etc.

Ainat [17]

<u>Microglia cells </u>are glial cells that respond to injury or disease by multiplying, and then engulfing cellular debris or even entire cells.

<h3>Functions of microglia</h3>

Microglia cells are the immune cells of the central nervous system and consequently play important roles in brain infections and inflammation. Recent in vivo imaging studies have revealed that in the resting healthy brain, microglia are highly dynamic, moving constantly to actively survey the brain parenchyma.

These active microglia can rapidly respond to pathological insults, becoming activated to induce a range of effects that may contribute to both pathogenesis, or to confer neuronal protection.

However, interactions between microglia and neurons are being recognized as important in shaping neural circuit activity under more normal, physiological conditions. During development and neurogenesis, microglia interactions with neurons help to shape the final patterns of neural circuits important for behaviour and with implications for diseases.

In your body, what process converts the chemical energy found in glucose into the chemical energy found in ATP? In your body, wh
Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Cellular respiration

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process in which glucose is oxidized into carbon dioxide and water. This oxidation of glucose gives rise to many molecules of ATP which is the energy currency of the cell and is used to provide energy in the metabolic processes that occur in the cell.

In aerobic organisms, the catabolism of glucose occurs in two step first the glucose is oxidized to pyruvate in the glycolysis process and then pyruvate is oxidized into carbon dioxide in Kreb cycle.

The energy released in the oxidation of glucose is used to form NADH and FADH2 which provide electron source in the oxidative phosphorylation process to form ATP. Therefore the correct answer is Cellular respiration.
