Enzymes are biocatalysts which increase the rate of biochemical reactions without undergoing any change themselves. It binds to the substrate forming the enzyme substrate complex and forming the product. The acceleration factor of enzymes is the factor by which the enzyme increases the rate of the reaction.

Pepsin and trypsin are enzymes involved in the breakdown of proteins in the stomach and the small intestine respectively. Enzymes function best at a particular pH called the optimum pH. Pepsin is found in the stomach with an acidic environment and function best at a pH range of 2-3. Small intestine has a pH between 7-8 and Trypsin secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine functions best at a neutral or slightly alkaline pH of 7-8.  Thus, the catalytic activity of the enzymes is maximum at its optimum pH.

During osmosis, which of the following will occur if the left side of a selectively permeable membrane has a higher solute conce
storchak [24]

Explanation:

Water molecules from the less conentrated right side, will flow into the left side til they equilibrate- at equilibrium both sides will have the same concentration of solute.

In diffusion small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds. Similarly, during osmosis the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer, this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low osmotic pressure /concentration.
