The human stomach secretes an enzyme known as pepsin. This enzyme breaks down proteins into smaller chemical molecules called pe

ptides. If pepsin was mixed in a laboratory with sugar molecules like glucose, what is the MOST LIKELY result? A) Pepsin will break down glucose molecules into simpler substances. B) Pepsin will react with glucose only if the necessary RNA molecules are present. C) Pepsin will probably NOT react with the sugar glucose since it is an enzyme that breaks down proteins. D) Pepsin will probably NOT react with glucose since the activity of enzymes is limited to the human body.

Answer:C) Pepsin will probably NOT react with sugar glucose since it is an enzyme that breaks down protein.It is because enzyme is specific to its substrate and pepsin acts on protein and convert it into peptides.Whether you carry out reaction in laboratory or somewhere else the action of enzyme is specific for a particular substrate only .When pepsin is used on glucose there will be no reaction.

A flowering plant has seeds that are carried by the wind. Infer the most likely dispersion pattern of the plants that grow from
Degger [83]

The most likely dispersion pattern of the plants that grow from these seeds is random.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a habitat, the pattern in which the seeds of the plants gets dispersed can be classified into three types They are random, uniform and clumped. The pattern of distribution of the seeds helps in determining the relation that exists between different members and their spaces in an ecosystem.  

The dispersed seeds have an equal space of distribution and hence it is called as uniform distribution. In a random distribution the seeds get to disperse and grow wherever they fall. This happens because of wind. When wind blows they take the seeds with them and when they stop they will make the seeds to fall wherever they stop blowing. this is an example of random dispersion of seeds.

Anestetic [448]

<span>The correct answer is (a) True, it is of paramount importance to use primary, secondary, and tertiary sources in research. Researching includes using primary sources as they contain original materials on which research is based, but also using second sources as interpretations and evaluations as other researcher’s point of view. That also apply for tertiary sources that  represent distillated and collected information of primary and secondary sources.</span>
