Answer:

B) digestive

Explanation:

Gluten is a protein present in grains of cereals such as wheat and barley. Protein digesting enzymes secreted in the stomach, thus breakdown of gluten takes place in the stomach. Since gluten contains a unique chain of amino acid that causes the protein structure to fold into shape with a lot of “kink bonds”. Due to the presence of kinks, it is a difficult protein for our digestive system to break down completely.

Give an example of how migration affects population size?
il63 [147K]
Well, depending on how long the migration is, many of the animals (mainly birds) could get sick and die, lowering the population. They could be shot by hunters, lowering the population. The children of the population could get left behind and lose their way, lowering the population. I'm not entirely sure how the population could grow other than them finding and staying with another group of their own kind. hope I was helpful! :)
