1.) what is the optimal pH for pepsin? where is pepsin found?

Biology

guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: 1. The digestive power of pepsin is greatest at the acidity of normal gastric juice (pH 1.5–2.5). 1.0–2.0

The optimum pH for pepsin activity of 1.0–2.0 is maintained in the stomach by HCl. When the pH of the medium increases to values greater than 3.0, pepsin is almost completely inactivated. 2.  The optimum pH for the enzymatic activity of salivary amylase ranges from 6 to 7. Above and below this range, the reaction rate reduces as enzymes get denatured. The enzyme salivary amylase is most active at pH 6.8.  around 7

Salivary α‐amylase has a short‐lived action. In fact, it is swallowed with chewed food and subsequently inactivated by extremely low gastric pH; amylase in fact has an optimal pH around 7, and the pH of saliva is generally between 6.4 and 7.0.

Assume that a cross is made between AaBb and aabb plants and that the offspring occur in the following numbers: 106 AaBb, 48 Aab
Elenna [48]

Answer:

linkage with approximately 33 map units between the two gene loci

Explanation:

If two genes are not linked, number of recombinants and parental offspring will be equal. Here it is clearly visible that recombinants are less than parental offspring hence the genes are linked. Given, the offspring are in following numbers:

AaBb = 106 = Parental

aabb = 94 = Parental

Aabb = 48 = Recombinant

aaBb = 52 = Recombinant

Recombination frequency = (Number of recombinants/ Total progeny) * 100 = (100/300) * 100 = 33.33 %

1% recombination frequency= 1 map unit of distance between the two gene loci. So here the distance between the two gene loci is approximately 33 map units.

Hence, these results are consistent with linkage with approximately 33 map units between the two gene loci

What is the major component missing from this food chain in order to see the flow of energy? A) there are no producers B) there
solmaris [256]

Answer:

The Green plants are missing in the food chain

Explanation:

Producers: The green plants since they produce their own food are also termed as autotrophs. They absorb energy from the sun to make their food. In ocean the phytoplanktons are the producers. In oceans the zooplanktons eat the phytoplanktons. Again the smaller zooplanktons eaten by larger zooplanktons and this eaten by fish. The fish is eaten by a bird. The tertiary consumer.

Consumers: It includes all organism eat something to survive. They might be herbivores and carnivores

Decomposer: The microbes bacteria and fungi converts dead matter into carbon and nitrogen which backs into the atmosphere.
