Chief cells secrete inactive pepsinogen in order to prevent acid erosion inside of the chief cells. True or False

Biology
2 answers:
4vir4ik [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Chief cells usually secrete pepsinogen, but the product does not related is to acidity.therefore, Whenever

HCl secreted by the parietal cells activate pepsinogen, the pepsinogen is converted into pepsin, and pepsin is an enzyme that acts on proteins.

NOTE:

The gastric chief cell is one of the cells in our stomach that brings about the release of pepsinogen and chymosin. Pepsinogen is activated into the body's digestive enzyme pepsin and the pepsin will have contact with acid that is produced by gastric parietal cells.

Pepsinogen is substance that is secreted into gastric juice from both mucous cells and chief cells. After secretion pepsinogen is activated into the active protease pepsin by the stomach acid.the protease pepsin helps the stomach's ability to initiate digestion of proteins.

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Pepsinogen is secreted by chief cells in gastric and mucous cells which has no digestive activit, but the result is unrelated to acidity.

However, once pepsinogen is secreted and comes in contact with previously formed pepsin in the presence of HCl, it is immediately activated to form active pepsin. Pepsin is an active proteolytic enzyme (for digesting protiens) in a highly acidic medium (optimum pH 2) and above a pH of about 5, it has a little proteolytic activity and soon becomes incompletely inactivated. Hence, HCl secretion is just as necessary as pepsin secretion for protien digestion in the stomach.

Transcription of DNA in eukaryotes is different from transcription in prokaryotes. In eukaryotes a gene that is transcribed make
vekshin1

Answer: Exons

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cell the primary transcript are very long the contains coding region (exons) and non coding region (introns)

The parts of the gene sequence that are expressed (coding region) in the protein are called exons, because they are expressed, while the parts of the gene sequence that are not expressed in the protein are called introns, because they come in between the exons.

Intron is a portion of a gene that does not code for amino acids. These Intron sequence are cleaved out and exons are spliced (I. E combine together) to form the mature mRNA molecule.

Exons are the mRNA parts that are kept and used to make protein.

Diploid (2n) number of 38, how many chromosomes would be present in an epithelial cell
sergiy2304 [10]
The epithelial cell will have 38 chromosomes
A 2n or 2(19) = 38 chromosomes. This is because n is called haploid number of chromosomes; the number of chromosomes present in the gametes. Epithelial cells like other body cells divides through the process of mitosis; therefore; the parent cells yields daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes (diploid). The other haploid (n) number is present in the gametes which divides by the process of meiosis.

What do white blood cells have that red blood cells do not?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Leukocytes are also called white blood cells. These cells have a nucleus, unlike red blood cells that lack a nucleus. Also unlike red blood cells, white blood cells do not contain hemoglobin, which means they're not involved in the transport of oxygen.

What does it mean to be sustainable?
lord [1]

Answer:

To be sustainable is to be able to maintained at a certain rate. It's to keep things continuous and viable. For example, wind energy is sustainable compared to oil because wind is easier to get than oil. Another example is if a country only has about 10-13 crimes a year for 20 years, crime is sustainable in that country.
