Trypsinogen is split by the enzyme enterokinase to form an activated molecule of the protease trypsin. Which of the following would confirm that the activation of trypsin is an example of how a positive feedback mechanism can amplify a biological process?
A. The activated trypsin enzyme can use enterokinase as a substrate
B. The trypsin produced by the reaction is capable of splitting and activating additional trypsinogen molecules
C. If levels of trypsin were to get too high, the trypsin molecules would inhibit the enzyme enterokinase
D. Each mRNA molecule that codes for trypsinogen can be translated repeatedly to form many peptide molecules
<h3><u>
Answer:</u></h3>
Trypsinogen molecules are first split into the active enzyme Trypsin by enterokinase. Then the Trypsin being a protease itself, works on Trypsinogens and converts them to Trypsin. Thus this is a positive feedback.
Option B
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
Trypsinogen is a proenzyme which is secreted by pancreas into the duodenum. Enterokinase is a intestinal enzyme that is secreted from the small intestinal glands. Enterokinase works on the Trypsinogens to convert them into trypsin by splitting a peptide chain from the proenzyme. This trypsin then digests a variety of proteins and peptides from diet.
Trypsin is a protease and the proenzyme Trypsinogen is a protein. So trypsin works on the secreted trypsinogens too and amplify the production of trypsin from the trypsinogens to enhance the digestion process. Thus, a positive feedback chain is seen here.
As it turns out, the atoms of carbon in your body were once part of carbon dioxide ( CO ... The Calvin cycle reactions can be divided into three main stages: carbon ...

Answer:
Thymine and uracil or adenine have two hydrogen bonds between them, whereas guanine and cytosine have three.
Since the average osmotic pressure of the brain is 300mM and the concentration of the solution is 280mM, that means there is 20mM difference between the brain cells and CSF. This will induce osmosis and cause water to move from the CSF into the brain until the concentration becomes same. Assuming brain volume is 1200ml and the CSF constantly replaced., then the estimation of fluid should be: 20mM/300mM * 1200ml= 80 ml
If it made percent it should be: 80ml / 1200ml= 6.67%
