Answer:
monomers called amino acids. They are linked together to form a polypeptide chain, which folds into a three dimensional (3D) structure to constitute a functional protein
Answer:
Lower esophageal sphincter
Explanation:
The biological valves are the muscular structures composed of the smooth muscles which form thick tubular structure to allow the controlled movement of any material through it. The valves in the digestive system are known as the sphincters.
The sphincters control the unidirectional movement of the eaten food, chyme and the bolus in the digestive tract.
A sphincter is present at the lower portion of the oesophagus (food pipe) which contracts to prevent the backflow of the food from the stomach and since the sphincter is present at the lower side of the oesophagus, therefore, is known as the lower esophagal sphincter.
Thus, Lower esophageal sphincter is correct.
Answer:
Explanation:
Enzymes are biological catalysts; catalysts are substances that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being used up (BBC, 2010), without these catalysts it would take an extremely long time for these reactions to take place. The enzyme used in this particular experiment was pepsin; pepsin is a zymogen of pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is activated by hydrochloric acid, which is released from parietal cells in the stomach lining. The hormone gastrin and the vagus nerve trigger the release of both pepsinogen and hydrochloric acid from the stomach lining when food is ingested. Hydrochloric acid creates an acidic environment, which allows pepsinogen to unfold and cleave itself in an autocatalytic fashion, generating pepsin. (Life Science Network, 2010)
A lot can be learnt about enzymes by studying the rate of enzyme catalyzed reactions, these rates of reaction can be studied in various ways. In this experiment, using a range of different temperatures, the enzyme pepsin will be mixed with egg albumen. This is high in protein and bound to the dye Coomassie blue to gain a light absorbance reading using a spectrophotometer and in effect see how much protein has been digested by the pepsin.
