Answer:

D) cofactor necessary for enzyme activity.

Explanation:

Carboxypeptidase is an enzyme found in the digestive system whose function is to hydrolyze a peptide bond in the terminal carbon of a protein. Said enzyme contains a zinc atom in its active site and when losing a zinc atom it would lead to loss of the activity of the enzyme, making it of great importance for the activity of the enzyme.

What two digestive processes occur in the small intestine
LuckyWell [14K]

Two digestive processes occur in the small intestine are:

1. Chemical digestion

Digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver are secreted in the small intestine via the pancreatic duct. Also, bicarbonates are secreted from the pancreas into small intestine (duodenum) in order to neutralize acid coming from the stomach.

Molecules digested in small intestine are proteinsinto small peptides and amino acids  (by trypsin, chymotrypsin, aminopeptidase and dipeptidase enzymes), lipids into fatty acids and glycerol (by pancreatic lipase and bile from the liver) and some carbohydrates  into simple sugars (by pancreatic amylase enzyme).

2. Absorption

The food previously digested can pass into the blood vessels (be absorbed)  through either diffusion or active transport.

How has shopping changed in the last two decades answers?
wariber [46]
I believe a lot of things have changed in the last two decades. This has been mainly attributed to the growth in technology, with the introduction of ecommerce, shopping has become a much more personalized experience, customers will not have to walk on a physical store but instead they can make an order while sited in a couch and get delivered to them, the consumer expectations are very different compared to the past two decades; the new speedy and interconnected world that technology has delivered means that customers now have much higher expectations when it comes to the brands that they buy from.
