6 0

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.

2. If 10% of the bases in a molecule of DNA are adenine, what is the ratio of adenine to guanine in the same
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Option D) 1:4

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.

So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.

Now, A + T + C + G = 100%

So, if adenine makes up 10% of the DNA nucleotides, then thymine is also 10%.

Then, 10% + 10% + C + G = 100%

20% + C + G = 100%

C + G = 100% - 20% = 80%

Thus, divide 80% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 40%

Ratio Adenine to Guanine is 10% to 40%

or 1:4 in simplest form
