∙ 9y agoA characteristic shared by all enzymes involved in protein digestion is that all are secreted in an inactive form. A negative nitrogen balance is characterized by a net loss of amino acids.

What glandular secretions involved in digestion would be most likely released initially as inactive precursors?
protein-digesting enzymes
The protein compounds which enable chemical digestion are called?
Enzymes
What cellular structures is involved in intracellular digestion Golgi apparatus ribosomes lysosomes?
The main cellular structures involved in intracellular digestion are lysosomes and the Golgi apparatus. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down complex molecules, while the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages these enzymes for transport to the lysosomes. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis and do not directly participate in intracellular digestion.
Why are enzymes produced?
Enzymes and digestion. The enzymes involved in respiration, photosynthesis and protein synthesis work inside cells. Other enzymesare produced by specialised cells and released from them; the digestive enzymes are like this. They pass out into the gut, where they catalyse the breakdown of food molecules.
Why must protein-digesting enzymes be stored in the inactive form?
All the digestive enzymes are made of protein, yet some of them are protein-digesting enzymes. If they were all dumped into the same "pot" the protein digesting enzymes would quickly destroy the other enzymes, and the whole process would grind to a halt. The body must separate protein digestion from other processes.
What is Digestion of carbohydrate protein and fat?
A fat is usually processed by bile and other enzymes in the duodenum
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 assists the metabolization of protein?
Enzymes in the body help to metabolize protein. The process occurs during digestion and as the food flows through the intestines.
What are the enzymes that digest your food?
amylase = starch, digestion starts in the mouth, pepsin = protein, starts in the stomachlysosomes.
What is the end product of the digestion of protein?
Protein molecules are digested by protease enzymes into one of 20 individual amino acids.
How does Pancreatic Juice helps the digestion of proteins?
it has protein digesting enzymes called trypsin which breaks proteins into peptides
Which proteins speed up chemical reactions?
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are called biological catalysts as well. Examples include Protease(speeds up digestion of proteins), Lipase(digestion of fats), Cellulase(digestion of cellulose),etc.
