Amylase is an enzyme found in saliva that begins the digestion process. After the amylase has acted on a food particle, which of the following is true? A. the mouth cells must produce more amylase to replace it B. the amylase is still present and able to catalyze another reaction C. the amylase bonds to a mouth cell to prevent it from being moved to the stomach D. the amylase becomes a biologically inert particle B. the amylase is still present and able to catalyze another reaction

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? HCl converts pepsinogen into pepsin, an enzyme that digests proteins in the stomach. Which of the following most likely happens in 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 digest more proteins A. it becomes inactive
