Answer:
Hypotheis:
<em>If high amounts of product in the samples, '+++' , correlates with optimal temperatures and pH for enzyme activity, then...</em>
- <u>A- Pepsin</u>
- <u>B- Amylase </u>
- <u> C- thermophilic enzyme</u>
Explanation:
Enzymes are specialized proteins that function as biological catalysts- <u>they speed up chemical reactions.</u> As proteins, these are susceptible to changes in temperature and pH- they function best at optimal values for both conditions, but can be denatured, rendering them inactive at relative extremes.
Each enzyme provided has its own optimal temperature and pH values.
- Thermophilic enzymes are usually found in regions characterized by high temperatures. They show high thermostability, and do not become denatured at high temperatures- they thrive, and do not function well at lower temperatures.
- Amylase is a hydrolase digestive enzyme found in the mouth, that acts on polysaccharides like starch to break 1,4 glycosidic bonds between glucose molecules. It works best at a physiological (neutral) pH and temperatures (around 37°)
- Pepsin, another digestive enzyme, is a peptidase that breaks down proteins into peptide molecules. It is found in the stomach lining, where the pH is typically low i.e. acidic due to the hydrochloric acid in digestive juices.
Thus from the table A- pepsin, B- Amylase and C- thermophilic enzyme can be hypothesized.

2) glycogen...................
Answer:
Microorganisms can be found both in the external environment (ecosystem) and the internal environment (microflora) of higher organisms.
Explanation:
Microorganisms (microbes) are microscopic forms of life that include bacteria, protists, fungi and animal species, these organisms can se differentiated by using laboratory techniques such as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or by microscopes. These organisms are both beneficial and both beneficial and pathogenic for humans. For example, the microflora may be useful in digesting nutrients contained in the food. On the other hand, <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> is a pathogen microorganism that is found in the digestive system of mosquitoes and cause malaria in humans.
