Pepsin and trypsin are classified as what?
They are classified as proteins
What are the similarities of pepsin and trypsin?
Pepsin and trypsin both are protein digesting enzymes.
What does Pepsin and Trypsin acid in?
poopy stain
Can pepsin and trypsin function in the same environment-?
no they can not because they at completely different pH levels.
Compare the optimum pH levels for trypsin and pepsin. how is the optimal pH level of pepsin relevant to it's particular location in the body?
pepsin is found in the stomach and the pH there is 2 while trypsin is found in the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum) and the pH there is 8-9. Thus, the optimum pH levels for pepsin and trypsin are 2 and 8-9 respectively.
What breaks complex sugars into simple sugars and proteins down to amino acids?
The enzyme amylase breaks the complex sugars into simple sugars. The enzyme pepsin in the stomach breake the peptide bond to get peptides. The enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin from pancreas break the peptides to amino acids, in the small intestine.
Which of the enzyme-substrate pairings is incorrect Nuclease-DNA Trypsin-protein Pepsin-carbohydrate Amylase-starch or Lipase-fat?
Trypsin-carbohydrates
How does trypsin gets its name?
Trypsin is one of the 3 proteolytic digestive enzymes produced in the pancreas as Trypsinogen and is activated in the Duodenum. Trypsin derives its name from the Greek word tryein- wear down + (english) pepsin -akin to.
What chemical (s) can be found in your stomach to digest proteins?
Three enzymes are important: pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin.
Does pepsin work on protein?
Yes this enzyme Pepsin serves a link to amino acids and collaborate to break down dietary protein into their components. Other enzymes are Trypsin and Chymotrypsin.
What enzyme completes the digestion of proteins?
Trypsin completes the digestion of proteins. Pepsin in the stomach starts the digestion of proteins.
Proteins are broken down by pepsin Why is trypsin needed?
it is because they need to then be broken up into even smaller acids
