Name the most important digestive enzyme in gastric juice?
hydrolic acid
What is the name of the most important digestive enzyme in gastric juice?
Hydrochloric Acid
Location and function of pepsin?
pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme present in the gastric glands.it hydrolyses proteins into peptones.
The most important digestive enzyme in gastric juice is?
Pepsin - it breaks proteins into peptide fragments
Why is the shape of the enzyme important to its function?
Ik
Why are temperatures and pH important to enzyme function?
Enzymes function optimally at a patricular temperature and pH. If the temperature is decreased or increased, the enzyme will not function as effectively. The enzyme is most active only at a patricular temperature and pH. Hence, these two factors are very important for enzyme action.
Pepsin is an enzyme released by the?
pepsin is a enzyme secreted by the gastric glands
What enzyme is produces by the stomach?
gastric juice
