Someone who is blood type<span> B could have a </span>genotype<span> of either BB or BO. A </span>blood <span>test of either </span>type<span> AB or </span>type<span> O is more informative. Someone with </span>blood type<span> AB must have both the A and B alleles.</span>
All eukaryotic cells have within them a variety of different structures called organelles. Organelles are small and function much like organs function in a large organism. Some organelles are responsible for gathering cell energy, others for controlling cell activities. Plant cells have different organelles than animal cells but also share many also. They all have a large variety of sizes and functions and make life as we know if possible. Click the links in the yellow boxes for more detailed information on each of the organelles.

In the stomach, the enzyme pepsin has the function to break proteins into smaller units-polypeptides. Pepsin is synthesized and secreted in an inactive form- pepsinogen. Activation energy (the minimum amount of energy that is required to activate an enzyme) is achieved in the acidic medium (pH from 1 to 3). So, the activation of pepsin (conversion of pepsinogen to pepsin) is possible thanks to the cells in the stomach lining which produce hydrochloric acid (HCl), causing the stomach contents to have a low pH.
Antacids neutralize the acid made by the stomach, affecting the digestion.
