How would you explain why bicarbonate and digestive enzymes respond differently in two of the variables in figure 30-8

Question

Answer:1. Response to hydrochloric acidHCO3- also known as bicarbonate, is a polyatomic anion, a byproduct of the body's metabolism and one of the two main components of the pancreatic juice. A base excreted by the epithalial cells of the pancreas, bicarbonate has the critical function of neutralizing the hydrochloric acid found in the gastric juice. This is why the pancreatic juice contains mostly bicarbonate when this acid is present.2. Response to fatWhen fats are predominant, the second component of the pancreatic juice, the digestive enzymes are abundant. This broad group of biological catalysts have the role of reducing all digestible macromolecules (such as fats) into forms that can be absorbed by the body. They are critical to the digestive process.

answer: - few nutrientshigh pressure low temperatures explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
