Digestive enzymes attach to food in order to break down the specific sources of energy such as fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Pepsin which is responsible for breaking down proteins in the stomach thrives in an acidic environment. Once it goes down with the food to the small intestine, which has an alkaline environment, it gets denatured.
Extreme temperatures also contribute to the denaturing of enzymes.
Answer:
<em>All of the above have caused ecological disruption</em>
Explanation:
Ecological disruption can be described as a kind of disturbance, whether of biological or non-biological origin which affects the pattern of a particular ecosystem. Disruptions might be caused due to factors such as weather changes or biotic factors such as the invasion of a predator species which disrupts the whole food web of an ecosystem. Any new species, when introduced in a stable ecosystem, will cause disruption in some way or the other.
Answer:
The correct answer is B) Beta-oxidation of fatty acids.
Explanation:
The DNP has the ability to disrupt the formation of the electron chain in the oxidative phosphorylation, avoiding the foods from producing ATP. This will, furthermore, cause the fatty acids to oxidate in order to provide energy to the cell. But this lack of ATP can get to lethal levels with minimum doses.
