I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The enzyme pepsin that is present in the stomach denature in the intestine due to the alkaline environment of the intestine. This is because pepsin has an optimum pH that is very low which is ideal for the acidic conditions of the stomach.

My name is Ann [436]
If a white person had children with a black person, not all of their children would be black, but majority of them would. There is a 75% chance each time the parents have an offspring that the child will be black. It would not matter if the black person was the mother or the father, because either way they are the dominant trait, and according to the punnet square, that is all that matters and that will effect the outcome.

What organelle does “Pompe Disease” affect in the cell, and how does this disease affect someone’s life?
lana [24]
Pompe is a disease in which u have a defect in the lysosome (an organelle found in every eukaryotic cell). The gene should be making a certain enzyme but it doesn't. This causes things to build up in cells that shouldn't be there. This type if disease is progressive and can be fatal. The treatment for this disease is very expensive. A person would need enzyme replacement therapy...which is not cheap. It will drastically affect a person's life. One can have progressive muscle weakness (where they require a walker or wheel chair), respiratory problems (where a breathing tube might be needed) , and heart defects.
