Answer:

elderly, specifically 50-74.

Explanation:

According to macmillan.org, the risk for cancer increases with age.

https://www.macmillan.org.uk/information-and-support/...cancer/what-is-cancer.html

If we are to go off of percentages, I would say a higher percent of children (per capita) get chemo, as it is a lot harder to say, "oh well i will die soon anyways" with a child.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: unfavourable ph condition for the pepsin

Explanation: during digestion, enzymes are needed to aid the process.digestive enzymes are biological catalyst that breakdown large food particles into digestible form .

As biological catalyst, enzymes require an optimum temperature and pH condition.outside this temperature or pH,the enzyme is denatured.

In the stomach, hydrochloric acid is required to convert pepsinogen into it's active form,pepsin.the acid also creates an optimum low pH that pepsin needs to function.

As the food moves to the small intestine,the pH is alkaline and is unfavourable for pepsin to function.

STatiana [176]

Answer: hypotonic, isotonic, hypertonic

Explanation: The tonicity of a solution depends in part on its concentration of the solute that can not pass the membrane (non penetrating solute) relative to that inside the cell.

Hypotonic solution (hypo means less): contains less concentration of non penetrating solute relative to that inside the cell. Water will enter the cell and the cell will swell and late.

Isotonic solution (Iso means same): it contains thesame solute relative to that in the cell, there will be no net movement of water across the plasma membrane.

Hypertonic solution (hyper means more) Hypertonic solution contain more solute relative to that in the cell. Hence the cell will lose water to its environment and may shrink and die.
