Answer:
A. INACTIVE PRECURSOR OF THE ENZYME PEPSIN THAT DIGESTS PROTEINS IN THE STOMACH.
Explanation:
Pepsinogen is the inactive precursor of pepsin produced by the chief cells of the stomach lining. The stomach walls are lined by majorly two types of cells; the chief and the parietal cells. Chief cells secretes pepisinogen and parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid in the stomach lining. The chief cells upon the signals of increased protein substance in the stomach produces pepsinogen which upon it release, it is activated to the active enzyme Pepsin by the hydrochloric acid from the parietal cell. Hydrochloric acid provides the acidic environment needed for the action of pepsin in the stomach. The pepsin begins the digestion of proteins into small amino acids in the stomach,
Answer:
Explanation:
The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases, with adenine forming a base pair with thymine, and cytosine forming a base pair with guanine.
When two atoms react, they form either of two kinds of bond, ionic bonds or covalent bonds.
Ionic bonds are the type of bonds where there is transfer of electrons from one atom to another. The electrons are removed and from one atom and attached to another. A good example is salt which is composed of sodium and chlorine. Sodium readily loses one of its electrons and chlorine readily accepts it. Before losing the electron, sodium has a positive charge, but then becomes negatively charged after giving up the electron. Chlorine has a positive charge before gaining the electron but becomes negatively charged after gaining the electron. These opposite charges between sodium and chlorine attract the two elements together to form the ionic bond.
Covalent bonds are the kind of bonds formed when two atoms share electrons. Here there is sharing, none of the atoms loses an electron and none gains. A good example is water which is formed when oxygen shares two electrons, each with an atom of hydrogen.
The Oxygen atom forms two covalent bonds with the pair of hydrogen atoms.
