After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow.

Your first big biology exam is coming up in a few days, and in order to prepare for late-night study sessions, you buy a box of Yummies, a delicious type of snack cake. After checking out the nutrition facts label on the side of the box, you discover that a single Yummie cake contains 4.5 grams of total fat, 27 grams of carbohydrate, 0 grams of fiber, and 1 gram of protein.


The pH of the stomach is extremely acidic (~ pH 2). If you ate a Yummie cake, what do you think would happen to the protein that you ingested as it passes through the stomach?
◦ The protein would become denatured due to the acidic environment.
◦ The protein would speed up digestion because it is an enzyme.
◦ The protein would form longer proteins via dehydration reactions.
◦ The protein would get broken down via dehydration reactions.
