Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To identify whether secretin/hydrochloric acid secretion pairing of term/concept is correct.
Concept introduction: Enzymes are specialized proteins that act as biological catalysts. Enzymes accelerate the biochemical reactions to produce the substances that are needed for cells for their proper functioning. The enzymes are very specific to their action.
Pepsinogen and aminopeptidase are different enzymes involved at different step of the digestion process of dietary protein. The flow chart for protein digestion in the human body is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation: To identify whether hydrochloric acid/pepsinogen activation pairing of term/concept is correct.
Concept introduction: Enzymes are specialized proteins that act as biological catalysts. Enzymes accelerate the biochemical reactions to produce the substances that are needed for cells for their proper functioning. The enzymes are very specific to their action.
