Enzymes are catalysts that can be used more than once. If a substance needs to get broken down then it can use the corresponding enzyme to attach itself and break it down into simpler substances. After this is gone, the next substance might come up and attach itself to the enzyme like a lock-and-key model.
Therefore the answer is A) Enzymes accelerate chemical reactions without getting used up in the process.
The order of steps for the digestion of proteins will be;
In mechanical digestion, the teeth grind food and break it in to smaller parts.
Churning and the enzyme pepsin break down protein in the stomach
The pancreas releases enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin
Tryspsin and chymotrypsin act on the proteins to break them down in the duodenum
Amino acids are absorbed by the capillaries in the Jejunum and lastly
The amino acids enter the blood stream and are circulated throughout the body.
The correct answer is option D, Plasma
Plasma is the condition where a hot gas is ionized. It consists of equal numbers of positive and negative ions. It is an electrically conducting environment which is considered as the fourth state of matter. Plasma gases are affected by electric and magnetic waves as compared to the neutral gases (which remain unaffected by electric and magnetic wave) due to the presence of negative and positive ions.
