The right answer is A) pepsin

* Pepsin is an endoprotease that hydrolyzes peptide bonds in which an aromatic amino acid (Tyr, Trp, Phe) engages its amine function.

* Pepsin is an enzyme of gastric juice. It is synthesized as pepsinogen (inactive proenzyme) and then stored in the enzymatic vesicles of the main cells, from which it is excreted at the time of digestion. The activation of pepsinogen pepsin is the result of acid hydrolysis in the acidic environment of the stomach. The pepsinogen (43,000 MW) then loses several fragments, one of 29 amino acids (pepsin inhibitor) whose hydrolysis causes the activation of pepsin. The optimum pH of action of pepsin is between 1.8 and 4.4 and is inactivated by the alkaline bicarbonates of the pancreatic juice.

Suppose an entire colony of lemmings is chased by a predator and most of them jump off a cliff and perish. Fortunately, a few of
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

re-established colony is bottleneck effect and island colony is a founder effect

Explanation:

since the re-established colony was created after the death of a large number of lemmings, it was a random event so it is a bottleneck effect. the surviving lemmings that jumped into water made their own, new population, which would be a founder effect

This type of membrane transport moves substances against the concentration gradient from an area of low concentration to an area
sashaice [31]

<u>Answer</u>:- Active transport

<u>Explanation</u>:-

There are two types of membrane transports

1. Passive transport - this type of transport occurs without the input of any energy and the molecules move along the concentration gradients that is from <em>high concetration to low concentration.</em>

2. Active transport- this type of transport takes place to move the molecules against the concentration gradient that is from <em>low concentration to high concentration.</em>

<em>The active transport is of two types:</em>

1. <em>Primary active transport-</em> in this type of transport <em>ATP</em> is used as an energy source to move the substances against the concentration gradient.

2.<em>Secondary active transport</em> - in this type of transport the gradient formed by the active transport is utilized and it involves the movement of 2 substances at a time aross the membrane. That is the movement of one molecule is coupled to another.


  • The membrane proteins that are associated with active transport are called as <em>carrier proteins</em>. These proteins have a binding site for the molecules that they transport. Once they bind to the specific molecules, a conformation change is induced and this leads to the transport of the molecule across the membrane.

So, the <em>active transport is basically responsible for utilizing the energy from ATP and carrier proteins to move the substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient i.e. from low concentration to high concentration.</em>
