Temperature - too cold the enzyme will still work but slowly, too hot and the enzyme will become denatured
pH - different types of enzymes work best in different pH environments
enzyme and substrate concentration - how many there is of each. eg. too many enzymes etcetera.

What activates trypsinogen?
Trypsinogen is activated by Trypsin -> its action is proteins -> peptides
What do Trypsin and chymotrypsin digest?
Trypsin breaks down Peptides to Amino Acids
What does trypsin do in chemical digestion?
It neutralizes the hydrochloric acid from the stomach. When the digestion of the protein is finished in the stomach, the HCl is not removed from the stomach and is passed down to the duodenum. Since the small intestine cannot handle such low pH, it releases trypsin which neutralizes the HCl so that the optimal level of pH can be reached (around 7). Without trypsin, all the digestive enzymes releases in the small intestine, along with the wall of the intestine itself would be broken down and eaten away by the strong acid.
What is the action of pancreatic trypsin on protein?
The digestive enzyme trypsin breaks down proteins found in the stomach.
What enzyme digests peptides?
trypsin
What is the pancreatic enzyme that activates the zymogens?
trypsin
What activates trypsinogen?
Trypsinogen is activated by Trypsin -> its action is proteins -> peptides
What are the protein hydrolyzing enzymes in the digestive tract?
pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase
What do Trypsin and chymotrypsin digest?
Trypsin breaks down Peptides to Amino Acids
Are pepsin and trypsin classified as sugars?
pepsin and trypsin are classified as proteins
What pH does trypsin work at the best?
The optimal pH for trypsin is 8. It is found in the small intestine and digests proteins and polypeptides there.
What happens when intestinal glands secrete intestinal juice?
Intestinal glands are located in the epithelial lining of the small intestine and colon. What happens when the intestinal glands secrete intestinal juice is that trypsin activates other enzymes to aid in protein digestion.
What are the similarities of pepsin and trypsin?
Pepsin and trypsin both are protein digesting enzymes.
Why trypsin is valuable?
Trypsin is a key digestive enzyme that assists with breaking down proteins and polypeptides. Trypsin also helps activate other enzymes like chymotrypsin.

How serum use to stop the trypsin action?
serum is going to stop the action of trypsin, because it contain the inhibitors of trypisn. Once you will inhit you can see the function of trypsin. SK
What did the sodium carbonate do to the action of trypsin?
it makes the pH o the solution to 8.5 or above where trypsin is active.
