Answer:

The correct answer is - to protect the cells of these secretory glands from pepsin.

Explanation:

Pepsinogen is an inactive form of enzyme pepsin that is released by specific cells called chief cells within the gastric lining Releasing the inactive form of pepsin in preventing the auto-digestion of protective proteins and the cells of these secretory glands in the lining of the digestive tract.

Pepsinogen is activated by acidic pH to pepsin of the stomach lumen and the cell lining of the stomach is protected by mucus lining.

Desacribe an experiment to prove that carbon dioxide is essential for photosynthesis ?
disa [49]
Take two healthy potted plants. Keep them in a dark room for 2-3 days. Now place each plant in a separate glass. Get a cup containing potassium hydroxide by the side of the plants (the potassium hydroxide is used to absorb carbon dioxide). COver both plants with separate jars. Seal the jars so that the set-up-is-air-tight. Keep the plants in sunlight for two hours. Gently pluck a leaf from each plant. remove the chlorophyll from the leaves by boiling them in alcohol. Wash the leaves with water and then pour iodine solution over them.

We can conclude that the photosynthesis cannot be carried out without carbon dioxide. the leaf from the plant (which was the jar containing potassium hydroxide, which absorbed the carbon dioxide) turns blue black on iodine solution showing that starch is presented in this lead.

so this shows that carbon dioxide is necessary for the processs of photosynthesis to take place
