What effect would decreased incubation temperatures have on pepsin?
Pepsin activity would decrease and at a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
What would happen if one of the organs in the digestive system?
If one of the organs in the digestive system, then.
What effect would decrease incubation temperature have on pepsin activity?

What would happen if the respiratory system and digestive system broke down?
You would die.
What body system would you find the stomach?
Digestive system which processes food for use in your body.
What will happen if body just makes fully active form of enzymes?
Consider the stomach. The inactive form of the digestive enzyme pepsin is called pepsinogin. ( spelling may be wrong ) It takes the release of hydrochloric acid in the stomach to activate this pre-enzyme into pepsin, the active form. You would be digesting your own stomach tissue if pepsin was always active.
Would the blood vessels carry digestive juices to the digestive system?
Blood vessels do not carry digestive juices to the digestive system. Digestive juices are either secreted directly into the lumen of the digestive tract, or are carried by ducts, as with bile and pancreatic juice.
