Why it is so that pepsin enzyme will not act if its active site is occupied by carbohydrate molecules?
The carbohydrate molecule should not get fitted into the pepsin enzyme.
Is pepsin an enzyme assist in carbohydrate digestion?
No
How is mucus coating and ulcer related?
Mucus is carbohydrate based. It is not affected by the pepsin. Once this barrier is broken, pepsin attack the stomach wall to form the ulcer. You give acid lowering agents to lessen the efficiency of the pepsin.
Why does pepsin not digest sucrose?
Sucrose is a type of carbohydrate. Pepsin is a protease, so it can only digest proteins, because enzymes are specific to one kind of molecule. Sucrose would be broken down by a carbohydrase.
Which of the enzyme-substrate pairings is incorrect Nuclease-DNA Trypsin-protein Pepsin-carbohydrate Amylase-starch or Lipase-fat?
Trypsin-carbohydrates
What food does pepsin begin to breakdown?
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.
In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?
Bapna is the substrate that the enzyme, pepsin, is action on.
Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?
Pepsin in the stomach
Where is pepsin produced What is the effect of pepsin on protein?
Pepsin is produced in the stomach. Pepsin is an enzyme that digests (hydrolyses) proteins into smaller polypeptide molecules.
What enzyme contained in gastric juice?
Protease (pepsin) plus hydrochloric acid
Which is not found in the mouth pepsin or ptyalin?
Pepsin is not found in mouth!
What are the differences between pepsin and pepsinogen?
pepsinogen makes pepsin
