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 hydrochloride 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?

• It becomes denatured and inactive.

• It begins to replicate.

• It's shape changes to engulf large proteins.

• It's activity increases to digest more proteins.

What will most likely happen if an appropriate enzyme is added to a chemical reaction?

• The reaction rate will increase.

• The equilibrium of the reaction will be maintained.

• The reaction rate will decrease.

• The reaction will stop.
