What is the gastric enzyme that acts on proteins?
The proteolytic or protein eating enzyme of the stomach is called pepsin. Pepsin is secreted into the stomach as a zymogen (or inactive enzyme precursor) called pepsinogen which is converted into the active enzyme form by the hydrochloric acid and low pH in the gastric juices.
What structure prduces the enzyme pepsin?
Pepsinogen is secreted by cells, witch is inactive, else cells made up of proteins would have got digested themselves. This inactive pepsinogen get converted to active pepsin after coming in contact with acid in stomach.
What is the inactive from of the enzyme pepsin?
The inactive form of pepsin is called pepsinogen.
What happens when an enzyme loses it's shape?
Its molecular shape is altered so the substrate cannot fit to its active site
What are inactive emzymes?
an inactive enzyme does not increase the rate of the chemical reaction
What are zygomens?
an inactive substance that is converted into an enzyme when activated by another enzyme.
What is a co-enzyme?
A nonprotein compound that combines with an inactive enzyme to form an active enzyme system.
Is a coenzyme?
A nonprotein compound that combines with an inactive enzyme to form an active enzyme system.

What is an enzyme called if it is inactive until it reaches its active site called?
enzymes are proteins zymogen
An allosteric enzyme made up of protein subunits alternates between active and inactive forms?
true
What is the inactive from of the enzyme pepsin?
The inactive form of pepsin is called pepsinogen.
Changing the pH in an enzyme will?
Changing the pH in the environment that an enzyme works in can change how active it will be. Most will be active in a narrow range. Pepsin, a stomach enzyme, will only work at very acid pHs and will become inactive at higher pH than 2.
What happens when an enzyme loses it's shape?
Its molecular shape is altered so the substrate cannot fit to its active site
Where is trypsin released into?
Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme, important for the digestion of proteins. In humans, the protein is produced in its inactive form, trypsinogen, within the pancreas.Trypsinogen enters the small intestine, via the common bile duct, where it converted to active trypsin.
True or false an allosteric enzyme made up of protein subunits alternates between active and inactive forms?
true
