The enzymes of the stomach will be different from those of the small intestine. The presence of the bolus stimulates the small intestine to produce secretin, which in turn stimulates the liver, pancreas, and gall bladder to secrete various enzymes, whereas the proteases of the stomach are activated by the low pH.
Pepsin, a protease and protein-digesting enzyme of the stomach, is released by chief cells as pepsinogen. The highly acidic chyme (pH: 1.5-2) clips off some of the pepsinogen molecule, exposing its active region. Pepsin could not be made from pepsinogen in the small intestine however, due to the bicarbonate ions that are released to neutralize the chyme dumped into the duodenum, creating a slightly basic solution.
Similarly, the low pH of the stomach would immediately denature any proteins (enzymes) found in the rest of the body, like the small intestine. The enzymes used in the stomach are specialized for the extremely low pH, though other enzymes are not. Pepsinogen released into the small intestine could not function as an enzyme properly.

The enzyme pepsin is produced in the cells of the stomach but not in the cells of the small intestine The small intestine produces a different enzyme trypsin The reason that the stomach what?
expressed in the stomach, but not in the cells of the small intestine castlelearning. lol
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is?
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is pepsin. Pepsin is released by the mucosal lining of the stomach.
Where are lipids first digested?
by bile in the stomach then by lipase by bile in the stomach then by lipase
Why does stomach and small intestine produce different enzymes?
because each enzyme has an own purpose
What is the enzyme called in your stomach?
There are many digestive juices in your stomach, the main ones are hydrochloric acid (HCl) and peptin. Peptin is an enzyme that digests proteins and HCl is an acid that dissolves most everything else. The stomach can only digest proteins. Carbohydrates and lipids are digested in the small intestine, where most digestion takes place.
Where is Pepsin (protease) located in the body?
Pepsin is found in the stomach of a human being. It turns food proteins into peptides and is considered a digestive protease.
Where in the body does the trypsin work?
It starts in the stomach and then the small intestine
Where can lipase's be found?
Lipase may be found in a woman's breast milk. Lipase is an enzyme and is released by the pancreas and them goes into the small intestine.
What organs does the large intestine work with?
the organs the small intestine,stomach,and anus
Is protein digestion completed in the stomach?
It starts in your mouth then moves down in your stomach work is done in your stomach it moves to your intestine and is completed in your intestine
Is it true that in the stomach proteins and fats are first digested?
Proteins are the last to be digested. Fats and sugars are among the first. carbohydrates get digested in the mouth by saliva then the proteins in the stomach by an enzyme called pepsin then fats in the very beginning of the small intestine by an enzyme created by the liver and stored in the gall bladder that enzyme is called bile
What are the parts of the gut that link the mouth to the stomach and the stomach to the large intestine?
The esophagus links the mouth to the stomach. The small intestine links the stomach to the large intestine.
