Some proteins catalyze biochemical reactions. If a genetic defect prevented a protein catalyst from being produced, which of the following do you predict would happen in the cell?

a)

The cell would find a different type of protein to catalyze the reaction.

b)

The reaction the protein catalyzes would proceed very slowly or not at all.

c)

As food travels through the digestive system, it is exposed to a variety of pH levels. The stomach has a pH of 2 due to the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl), and the small intestine has a pH ranging from 7 to 9. HCl converts pepsinogen into pepsin, an enzyme that digests proteins in the stomach. Which of the following most likely happens to pepsin as it enters the small intestine?

a)

It becomes inactive

b)

It begins to replicate

c)

Its shape changes to engulf large proteins

d)

Its activity increases to ingest more proteins
