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.

Answer:

1. Minimum viable population is the estimate of the fewest number of organisms a population needs to avoid extinction.

2. The measurement will most likely stay the same if the number of offspring each female in the population produces increases.

3. If the death rate increases, this measurement will most likely increase.

Explanation:

Minimum Viable Population:

  • Minimum viable population is an ecological threshold that signifies the minimum number of individuals required to prevent the species from going extinct.
  • MVP determines population conservation benchmarks.
  • MVP also helps in keeping a population genetically diverse as a limited number of individuals present limited mating opportunities and therefore limited genetic diversity.

Primary reinforcers are related to secondary reinforcers in which of the following ways?
LuckyWell [14K]
You didn't provide us with any possible ways? Primary reinforcers are, however, types of reinforcers where they immediately elicit a reward or reward-like behavior once they are applied in a situation. An example would be apple juice. 

Secondary reinforcers on the other hand need to be associated with something for them to become reinforcers or they provide rewards in a non-direct way. An example would be money.

This is the main relationship between them.
