The enzymes which aid in the digestion of proteins in the stomach is called pepsin. Pepsin needs an optimum pH of about 2 to be effective and that is why the hydrochloric acid is usually secreted in the stomach.
 In the situation where an antacid is used and the acidity of the stomach is neutralized, then, the pepsin enzyme will not be able to perform its function because of altered pH and the protein content of the eaten food will not be digested leading to indigestion in the affected person.<span />

Why is milk used as a first-aid remedy for someone who has swallowed a heavy-metal poison?
klio [65]
Human trials have indicated an inverse relationship between blood lead level and calcium intake. While milk isn’t an antidote to let’s say, lead poisoning, the dietary calcium inhibits the lead absorption. This sort of poisoning is incredibly dangerous to the systems of the human body, and the ingredients within the milk help to defend against it. The purpose of the milk is to dilute the ingested poison.

One mole of glucose contains 2870 kJ of energy. The hydrolysis of one mole of ATP releases 30.7 kJ of energy. Calculate the perc
Galina-37 [17]

The answer is:

Total used energy is the energy released by the hydrolysis of one mole of ATP and it is 30.7 kJ.  

Total possible energy (used pus released as a heat) is 2870 kJ.

So, we calculate total used/total possible=30.7/2870=0.01069 or 0.017. Expressed in percentage: 1.07% energy is used.

Which statement describes the relationship between the lizard and the frog on the food web?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: A.) Heterotrophs compete for the same food source.  

A food chain is a linear sequence in which food and energy is being transfered when one organism is fed the another organism in an ecosystem. A food web is a interconnection of two or more food chains. Heterotrophs are  organisms which are dependent upon other organisms for the food requirement. In the given condition, the lizard and frogs are the heterotrophs which are dependent upon insects for their food requirement.

<em>Hence, heterotrophs compete for the same food source is the correct statement to describe the relationship between the lizard and the frog on the food web. </em>

A biologist marked 200 mice, by putting leg bands on them, out of a forest containing an unknown number of mice. The marked mice
Fofino [41]

Answer: The estimated population is 1250 mice

Explanation: The method use was marked and recapture, in which individuals are marked in the first capture and after some time biologist trap a new group of individuals that can be or not marked

Whit this data is possible to estimate the size of a population applying the Peterson method but is important to make some considerations such as:

1. All indivuals have the same probability to be capture

2, The population remain constant in terms of birth and death rate.

Taking this into account, the formula that allows to determine the size of the population is:

N=CM / R  

where N is the size of the population, C is number of indivuals trapped in recapture, M is number of individuals marked in the first capture and R is the number of marked animals trapped in recapture

In this case:

N = 250 * 200 / 40 = 1250
