1. Read the following passage and answer parts the following questions.

Two students carry out an investigation to determine the action of the enzyme pepsin on protein
digestion in the human stomach. They know that gastric juice in the stomach contains water, pepsin,
and hydrochloric acid. They decide to use small, equal-sized pieces of cooked egg white as the
protein to be digested.
They set up four test tubes and place equal, small amounts of egg white in each test tube. Then
they fill each test tube with a different liquid to a height of 3 cm. To test tube 1 they add water, to
test tube 2 they add dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl), to test tube 3 they add pepsin in water, and to test
tube 4 they add pepsin and dilute hydrochloric acid. They place the four test tubes in an incubator set
at 37°C (body temperature).
After one day, they observe the results. They return the test tubes to the incubator and observe
them again the next day. Table 6-2 is the record of the results.

Table 6-2
Test tube 1 day 2 days
1. egg + water no change no change
2. egg + HCl no change no change
3. egg + pepsin liquid slightly cloudy, liquid cloudy, egg white still
egg white solid solid
4. egg + pepsin + HCl liquid cloudy, pieces of liquid very cloudy, almost no
egg smaller egg remains

Write a conclusion to the experiment. Base your conclusion on the experimental results shown in
Table 6-2.
