Once the protein is digested pepsin breaks apart the denatured protein into peptides. Peptides move into the small intestine where they encounter an enzyme that digest the peptides into di- or tripeptides‚

    glucose. This release of products provides the necessary nutrients for all forms of life. In water‚ leaves‚ usually float in water due to the gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen that are within the mesophyll layer of the leaves. But in order to measure the rate of photosynthesis‚ the gases in the leaves need to be drawn out of the mesophyll. This can be done by creating a vacuum‚ which will further be explained in the procedure. This will allow us to see the effect of one reactant‚ carbon dioxide
