What cell organelle is responsible for packaging zymogen granules?
The Golgi Apparatus
What is the source of pepsin?
Pepsin is an enzyme which is secreted by Zymogen cells of the stomach. First it is secreted in an inactive form called Pepsinogen. After that Hydrochloric acid (HCl) activates it into pepsin. FUNCTION:Its function is to hydrolyse the proteins to yield peptide.
What are the enzymes produced in the stomach?
The main enzyme in the Stomach is Pepsin which is used to digest protein. Only protein digestion occurs in the stomach and almostt no absorption, (only a little alcohol). This protein is not secreted as its active form (ie not as pepsin) but as the Zymogen (the inactive precursor to proteins) Pepsinogen which cleaves in a low pH to form the active enzyme.
Where does digestion of food first start?
Chemical digestion begins in the mouth, when our salivary amylase breaks down starch(on a-plus) the STOMACH begins digestion of protein by emulsifying food.i promise you its the right answer.
What blood cell clots the blood?
If the wall of a blood vessel wall is breached it can be ctritical to repair it before to much blood is lost from the system and all the cells around start to die off. Freely dissolved within the blood plasma is the protein Fibrinogen. This is a structure called a Zymogen (innactive precurser proteins that are cleaved to form activie proteins of enzymes). Fibrinogen is cleaved to form the clotting protein Firbrin. Fibrin is very good at making atractions with itself to form a Mech that covering the breach. This is enough to keep the blood cell in the vessel but the plasma can still easily be lost through the gaps in the mesh. This is where the "cells" come in. These "cells" are in fact not truly cells at all but cell fragments called Platelets. They are small enough to get part way through the mesh but then befome trapped blocking it up. The mesh continues to form more leayer and traps more and more platelets. This collective barrier that is formed is what blocks the blood from escaping the vessel. It is the red blood cells that block an leaking vessel. For example when you scrap your knee, it bleeds aye? The things called Fibrin, kinda like sticky stuff, snatch moving blood cells and clog the leak so the bleeding stops. The more you exercise the more quickly it can block the leak! platelets
What does the zymogen cell secrete?
Zymogen cells produce lipase (lipids).
What are zymogens?
zymogen granules active the other enzymes for digestion.
What cell organelle is responsible for packaging zymogen granules?
The Golgi Apparatus
What is an enzyme called if it is inactive until it reaches its active site called?
enzymes are proteins zymogen
Which enzyme digests disaccharides to monoschharides A. Lactase B. Kinase C. Zymogen D. Lipase E. Phophorylase?
d
Does hydrochloric acid produced in the stomach destroy pepsin?
No quite the opposite the low pH allows the autocleavage of pepsins zymogen pepsinogen into the active form pepsin.
What is the medical term for gland cell?
Gland cells are cells that release digestive enzymes into the gastro vascular system. Gland cells are also known as zymogen cells.
What does hydrochloric acid do to the pH of the stomach?
It decreases the pH of the stomah juices to around pH 4. This allows the zymogen pepsinogen to be cleaved into the enzym pepsin which breaks down proteins into amino acids.
Where the digestion of the proteins begins?
Chemical digestion of proteins begin in the stomach.In the stomach.The digestion of proteins begin at the stomach.The stomach. There are recesses in the wall of the stomach called pits. These pits produces pepsinogen and HCl as well are protective mucous. Pepsinogen is the zymogen (inactive form) of pepsin the enxyme which breaks down protein. It is cleaved form the zymogen form into the active form in very low pH situations, this is why HCl is secreted here.MouthChemical digestion of protein starts in the stomach.It would begin in the stomach. It would occur by the action of an enzyme called pepsin.In the stomach

Why can pepsin not be produced in its active form?
Pepsin degrades proteins so if it was active it would immediately begin digesting all the proteins in the cell. Therefore it is produced from a precursor known as a zymogen or proenzyme. Pepsin's proenzyme form is pepsinogen which is transformed to the activated pepsin protein.
