How does a cell digest protein?
With the aid of digestive enzymes from the lysosomes.
Does Hydrochloric acid digest protein?
No - it is the enzymes that reside in the acid which carry out the digestion of proteins. The acid a) provides a suitable pH for the proteases (protein-digesting enzymes) ,and b) kills microbes on our food.
What are the enzymes that digest your food?
amylase = starch, digestion starts in the mouth, pepsin = protein, starts in the stomachlysosomes.
Why can't you use an enzyme cleaner on a wool rug or carpet?
Wool is protein. Enzymes digest proteins.
Enzyme complexes that break down protein are called?
Proteases are enzymes that degrade/digest proteins
What effect do enzymes in the intestine have on protein?
Once you digest food the enzymes in the intestine will digest the nutrients into small components. So that they could be absorbed by the intestine into the bloodstream, and throughout the body in order to be reused by the body cells.
What enzymes digest protein?
Enzymes dont digest proteins they act as cataylst to break down the protein, there is a difference. :D As one enzyme is specifc to one type of protein, there are a wide variety of them, For example. Amylose (in out saliva) is catalyst by amylase the enzyme. Lactose in dairy is cataylsed by the enzyme lactase. And Cellulose (in plant cell walls) is catalysted by Celluase.
What organ is needed to digest starches and protein?
Your mouth begins digesting starch. Saliva contains enzymes that help digest starch. Then when food enters your small intestine, other enzymes help digest starch. In your large intestine, bacteria help you digest starch.
Do enzymes digest protein?
Enzymes are a type of proteins themselves but what enzymes do is they break down large macromolecules into smaller molecules that can be reassembled to synthesize materials. So enzymes can break things down and build them up, proteins included.
What a substance that can digest food?
Enzymes such as protease and carbohydrase break down specific types of food i.e. protein and carbohydrate.
Why are protein digestive enzymes produced and released in an inactive form?
In the case of protein digesting enzymes, known as endopeptidases, such as those secreted in the stomach (pespin), it is obvious. If they were secreted active they would digest the glands which secrete the enzymes themselves (gastric glands). Instead they must be secreted in an inactive form, which once in the stomach and exposed to HCl acid and other pepsin enzymes the pepsinogen activates and begins digesting protein.
What is the role of enzymes in your digestive system?
Enzymes are protein materials found in all areas of the body. In the respiratory system, enzymes act as catalyst for the many chemical reactions.
