Chicken feathers have long been discarded by the poultry industry until recently. What is now being done with the feathers? As they are mostly protein, they are ground and being used as a protein supplement in inexpensive hamburger meat. They are converted into ground mulch and roofing materials. As they are mostly carbohydrates, they are ground and are used to suppleme fertilizers. They are being converted into feather dusters. There are no useful products but research continues.

The catalytic activity of enzymes depends on the presence of appropriate environmental conditions. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme found in the stomach and facilitates the digestion of large proteins. If pepsin is removed from this acidic environment of the stomach and is instead placed in a more basic environment, it will cease to function. Describe the specific effect that a change in environmental pH will have on pepsin and explain how this change can lead to inhibition of its catalytic activity. Respond in 4 to 6 complete sentences.
