Answer Questions about your results: 1. Which pH provided the highest pepsin activity? Is that what you expected, based on location of pepsin secreting chief cells in the gastric glands? 2. Would pepsin be active in the mouth? Explain your response: 3. What are the products of protein digestion (subunits of proteins)? inning?)

Answer Questions about your results:
1. Which pH provided the highest pepsin activity?
Is that what you expected, based on location of pepsin secreting chief cells in the gastric glands?
2. Would pepsin be active in the mouth?
Explain your response:
3. What are the products of protein digestion (subunits of proteins)?
4. Why is tube 4 described as "control" for this experiment on effect of pepsin? (hint -what is missing?)
5. Tubes 1 and 2 contained the same substances. Explain why their optical density measurements
were different:
6. If you had not run the tube 2 and tube 3 samples, what argument could be made against the
statement "Pepsin digests BAPNA"?
7. How did your predictions compare with actual results?
Explain:
