What is acidophiles?
A probiotic in the intestinal tract that aids in digestion.
What is the name of the digestion juice?
the exocrine secretions of the gastric cells, together with a large amount of water form a highly acidic solution called gastric juice.
What is difference between enzyme and receptor?
Enzyems are highly selective catalysts. Receptors are not very highly selective catalysts.
Which is not true of enzyme behavior?
Each enzyme can catalyze a wide variety of different reactions.
How does pH affect an enzyme?
When the pH level rises, the enzyme's bonds become weakened, changing the enzyme's structure and disabling its function (so its substrates can't enter its active site). Enzymes, like all proteins, are folded into three-dimensional shapes (called tertiary structure). Their structures are determined by their amino acid sequences and the conditions of the solution they're in. The acidity of a solution can affect the tertiary structure of the protein, making it more or less accessible to the substrates or ligands(molecules that affect enzyme activity but are not processed by the enzyme). In most cells, enzymes acting in the cytosol and mitochondria have pH optima of around 7.2 (physiological pH). However, some enzymes in these compartments actually work better at lower pH, which occurs when the cells are stressed. The vacuole and apoplastic space (between plasma membrane and cell wall) of plant cells is much more acidic, therefore enzymes acting there have pH optima between 3-5. In the human digestive tract, there are enzymes operating at basic pH (mouth and intestine) and highly acidic pH (stomach). So the effect of pH depends on the "native" conditions that the enzyme is optimized to use.
What does the enzyme protease do?
Gastric protrease is produced by the walls of the stomach. It breaks down proteins to amino acids in the stomach (a highly acidic place).

Is vingar a acidic?
yes vinegar is quite highly acidic
Does the enzyme trypsin get deactivated when introduced in the gastric juice of the stomach?
The optimum pH for tryspin is about 8.0, which is the pH of the intestine, whereas the pH of gastric juice is 1.5-2.0, which is highly acidic.

What will happen if the person si highly acidic. what are the symptoms of highly acidic?
the symptoms are your mom. she likes play with my nuts. yaaay.
Can enzymes function at any pH?
No. They function best at the pH corresponding to their usual/intended environment. For example, pepsin, present in the stomach, which is highly acidic, functions best at acidic pH, while trypsin, secreted into the duodenum together with basic bicarbonate, functions best at moderately basic pH. This is true also within subcellular compartments: the optimal pH of lysosomal enzymes is acidic, matching the acidic proteolytic environment inside the lysosome. That said, most enzymes present in the cytosol (~neutral) and blood (~neutral) function best around neutral pH.
What is a acidic pH?
Acidic pH is a reading of between pH7 (neutral) and pH 0 (highly acidic).
Why is the water in some caves highly acidic?
"Highly" might be a bit of an overstatement. Water in caves is frequently mildly acidic, because of dissolved organic acids and carbon dioxide, but it's generally not what would be considered highly acidic.
Is sodium hydroxide highly acidic or highly basic?
It is a strong base :)
Is a acidic pH level 1?
Any pH below 7 is acidic. A pH of 1 is highly acidic.
