Pepsin, a common enzyme found in the stomach, is most active at pH values between 0.5 and 2.5. It works slowly between pH values

of 2.6 and 3.4. Beyond a pH of about 3.5, it becomes completely inactive. Why does this happen?
A) The enzyme inactivates because it melts into a liquid when it is not at the right pH.
B) The protein chain in the enzyme is denatured, permanently inactivating it as the pH approaches 7.
C) The enzymes slow down, because changing the pH changes the temperature as well, and affects the reaction.
D) The enzyme's active site contracts into the wrong shape, but this is always reversible if the right pH is restored.

Have you ever heard of that thing on prescription bottles where it says dont drink Grapefruit juice with this med.

You can blame enzymes for that.

Pepsin needs to be acidic to break down food.

It will become inactive near ph of 6.5.

How can mutations lead to human evolution?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

How Mutations Can Lead to Human Evolution?

Explanation:

A mutation is the random change in the nucleotide sequence or in the DNA organization (genotype) of a living being, [1] that produces a variation in its characteristics and that is not necessarily transmitted to the offspring. It occurs spontaneously and suddenly or due to the action of mutagens. This change will be present in a small proportion of the population (variant) or the organism (mutation). The genetic unit capable of mutating is the gene, the unit of hereditary information that is part of DNA.

In multicellular beings, mutations can only be inherited when they affect reproductive cells. A consequence of mutations can be, for example, a genetic disease. However, although they may seem harmful in the short term, mutations are essential to our long-term existence. Without mutation there would be no change, and without change life could not evolve.

Biju RD, Wu J, Hussain Z. Tension pneumocephalus after skull base surgery. A case report and review of literature. J Clin Neuros
inn [45]

The term "pneumocephalus" refers to the condition in which air is present in the cranial cavity.

What happens in pneumocephalus?

  • Increased intracranial pressure causes tension pneumocephalus, a neurosurgical emergency that can cause headaches, seizures, loss of consciousness, and even death.
  • Clinically separating the two entities is difficult but essential.
  • Tension pneumocephalus following skull base surgery was found to be a rare phenomenon with just eleven cases described, according to a survey of the literature on PubMed/MEDLINE.
  • After treatment, the majority of patients experienced full symptom relief.
  • Following skull base surgery, tension pneumocephalus is a potential complication that clinicians should be aware of.
  • An understanding of imaging characteristics and a high level of suspicion are necessary for accurate diagnosis. Rapid management is essential to avoid potentially disastrous effects.

The concentration of a biomolecule inside a rod-shaped prokaryotic cell is 0.0037 m. calculate the number of molecules inside th
Talja [164]

First, let calculate the volume of the rod shaped-bacteria:

S = length of the bacteria * surface of its side = 4.1 * (0.45 *0.45 * 3.14) = 2.6 µm3

Now, let's convert the moles into molecules (with Avogadro's law):

0.0037mol/L = 0.0037 * 6.023 *10^23 = 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L

Now let's convert The volume and the concetrnation into µm3 (molecules / µm3)

1 L = 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3 = 1000000 mm3 = 10^9 µm3

so 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L = 2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3

The answer is  2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3
