Some students conduct an investigation in a biology lab by setting up four different artificial stomachs, each in a 40 °C water bath. The students place the same amount of boiled egg white, a protein-rich source, in each stomach.
They also add dilute hydrochloric acid, HCl, and pepsin, a digestive enzyme, to each stomach, as shown in the table.
The students observe the mass of egg white in each stomach every 15 minutes.
Which statement describes the most likely result of this investigation?
A. The mass of the Egg white increases as the volume of the enzyme increases.
B. The egg white is unaffected by the differing amount of enzyme.
C. Digestion decreases in each stomach as more of the egg white's surface area becomes exposed.
D. Digestion increases as the volume of the enzyme increases.
