Answer:

The correct answer is "Chief cells; hydrochloric acid secreted by parietal cells".

Explanation:

Pepsinogen is produced by chief cells in the gastric system. Pepsinogen is a precursor of pepsin, a powerful digestive enzyme that is activated when pepsinogen is exposed to gastric acid in the gastric lumen. This gastric acid is actually hydrochloric acid that is secreted by parietal cells, which are epithelial cells located in the gastric glands.

Answer:

Pepsinogen is produced by chief cells and is activated by hydrochloric acid secreted by parietal cells.

Explanation:

Pepsinogen is a proenzyme produced in the chief cells (that are located in the stomach lining) that, when gets activated, is transformed into pepsin - a peptidase with the function to degrade proteins into amino acids.

The reason why pepsinogen is released inactive is that it would break down all of the cell's proteins because of its proteolytic nature. For this reason, it is released as a proenzyme and gets activated when reaches the acidic environment provided by the hydrochloric acid secreted by the parietal cells, also in the stomach lining.

Please help me, I don't understand this
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

4, based on the assumption that the R allele is dominant over the r allele, and that the T allele is dominant over the t allele.

Explanation:

Any bush with a dominant petal color allele (R) will have red petals. This includes Rr and RR.

Any bush with a dominant bush size allele (T) will have a tall bush. This includes Tt and TT.

The only way to acquire a short bush or pink petals is to have two recessive alleles together (tt, rr).

RRTT, RrTT, RRTt, and RrTt -> red petals with tall bushes

RRtt, Rrtt -> Red petals with short bushes

rrTt, rrTT -> pink petals and tall bushes

rrtt-> pink petals with short bushes.

These are the four phenotype variations possible in this dihybrid cross.

What is the pelagic environment
s2008m [1.1K]

The pelagic zone can be contrasted with the benthic and demersal zones at the bottom of the sea. The benthic zone is the ecological region at the very bottom of the sea. It includes the sediment surface and some subsurface layers. Marine organisms living in this zone, such as clams and crabs, are called benthos.
