Answer: unfavourable ph condition for the pepsin

Explanation: during digestion, enzymes are needed to aid the process.digestive enzymes are biological catalyst that breakdown large food particles into digestible form .

As biological catalyst, enzymes require an optimum temperature and pH condition.outside this temperature or pH,the enzyme is denatured.

In the stomach, hydrochloric acid is required to convert pepsinogen into it's active form,pepsin.the acid also creates an optimum low pH that pepsin needs to function.

As the food moves to the small intestine,the pH is alkaline and is unfavourable for pepsin to function.

How is the concept of homeostasis related to disease and aging?
tigry1 [53]
<span>The body is constantly changing, no matter what age. It has to maintain homeostasis, or balance at all times or illness/death occurs. If your body is weakened, it then becomes harder to maintain this state. If one component goes out of balance; ie, water content, it affects the whole body. Swelling(edema) CHF(serious heart problem) kidneys may be overtaxed/unable to release the extra fluid. As the body ages organs naturally become less efficient, therefore making homeostasis more challenging.</span>
