Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to protect them from low climate areas.

Functional or Behavioral adaptations refer to particular things that an organism or organisms do to survive. In the example above, behavioral adaptations that birds do is through certain bird calls and migration, while bears hunt during warmer seasons and hibernate during winter season. </span>

Answer:

Species is defined as the group of organisms which are able to interbreed to produce a viable and fertile offspring.

Thus, for the formation of a new species, that is, speciation the new species must not be able to interbreed with the original species.

The new species are formed by the accumulation of genetic mutations over the generations.

In psychology, the term nature refers to traits that are a result of heredity. <span>Plato (428–347 BC) believed that people’s ability to think, feel and interact are innate and natural. That is, the person already had a set of its characteristics by the moment he or she was born through his or her genes passed on from his parents. He believed that people already have the certain tendency to react to a certain stimulus even before he was taught by his environment.</span>

Pepsin, an enzyme that is found in the stomach of humans, functions in breaking down proteins. It is denatured as it travels to
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A. pH

Explanation:

Denaturation of proteins is a protein whereby the protein molecule loses its primary structure and ultimately its physical functioning as a result of factors including pH, temperature or concentration of chemicals. Based on this definition, it is visible that denaturation of proteins can be caused by these three factors: pH, chemical and temperature.

However, in this case of PEPSIN enzyme, which is a proteinous molecule produced in the stomach of humans and functions in breaking down proteins, its denaturation occurs as it moves along the digestive tract to the intestines. This is as a result of the changes in pH in the digestive tract.

The pH of the stomach where pepsin is produced is acidic i.e. <3.0. However, as one moves towards the intestine, the pH increases, which is unfavorable or considered harsh for the pepsin enzyme. Hence, it gets denatured.
