Answer: c. signal amplification

Explanation:

The uncoupling of the G-protein and inhibiting of the signal amplification are the two affects of the pertusis toxin. It is released by the bacteria called <em>Bordetella pertusis. </em>The G-proteins are affected by the action of pertusis toxin. The production to the excess level of cAMP due to the conversion of ATP into cAMP the ribosylation of the ADP molecules occurs due to pertusis toxin. This leads to the damage of G-proteins.

Answer:

Pancreatic juice, NaHCO₃.

Explanation:

The buffers are the chemical solution which neutralizes the acidic effect and the human body also produces the biological buffers which help maintain the pH.

The pancreatic juice secreted by the pancreas gets drained into the duodenum of the small intestine and neutralizes the effect of the acidic content in the stomach bolus.  The pancreatic juice contains the sodium bicarbonate which neutralises the effect of the HCl.

Thus, Pancreatic juice, NaHCO₃ is the correct answer.
