Answer:

<h2>A</h2>

Explanation:

Pepsinogen is an inactive enzyme which is activated into active digestive enzyme known as pepsin. It is a digestive enzyme which causes breakdown of proteins. Active pepsin causes cleavage of more pepsinogen molecule by a positive feedback loop and leads to increase in the concentration of active pepsin molecule.

Its concentration increases according the requirement in the body which is controlled by feedback system.

<h2>Option (A) is Right Answer</h2>

Explanation:

  (A) positive feedback loop

  • <em>Pepsin is a digestive enzyme</em>. It is made in a inactive structure, <em>pepsinogen</em>, which is enacted by the sharpness of the stomach to self-separate
  • The severed particle is dynamic <em>pepsin</em>, which proceeds to separate more pepsinogen atoms, prompting a course of fast pepsin enactment
  • Animals and population can keep up <em>homeostasis </em>in a domain when they have a consistent degree of births and passings. It is like the possibility of <em>harmony</em>

What are some of the challenges scientists most overcome when studying extreme environments such as deep space or the deep ocean
kvv77 [185]

Let us look at the what, why and how of studying extreme places like the deep earth and the deep space. Scientists need to figure out as to 'what' they want to look at such places, be it a new exotic creature or bio-genesis (birth of life). Unless there are several testable hypothesis constructed, such a study cannot begin. The 'why' aspect deals with the purpose of such research and expeditions. Is it of any use to the humans, or will it improve our current understanding of a phenomenon? The 'how' aspect deals with the technology and the economic assistance that can help in undertaking such a research. All these are the challenges that needed to be thoroughly considered to make such a research or expedition possible.

. It has been observed that organisms on islands are different from, but closely related to, similar forms found on the nearest
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

       The right answer to this question is option A) island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.

       It's known in science that a long time ago, all the continents were only one, united all together in a bigger one. This can be observed by the way every continent can fit another one.

       A proof of that too, is evolution, when we find organisms in an island that share some characteristics with organisms from another island, that can mean some things, they come from the same place, or these islands share characteristics that lead these organisms to be this way through evolution.
