What else can I help you with?
Is food reacting with pepsin a chemical or mechanical change?
This is a chemical change. Pepsin catalyzes the chemical breakdown of food.
What enzymes speed up the breakdown of protein in food?
Pepsin and tripsin
What is the enzymatic breakdown of any type of food molecule by the edition of a water molecule to each molecular bond?
pepsin
Secretes Hydrochloric and acid pepsinogen to begin the chemical break-down of food?
The stomach secretes hydrochloric and acid pepsinogen to begin the chemical break down of food.
What enzymes speeds up the breakdown of protein in food?
Protease enzymes, such as pepsin and trypsin, are responsible for breaking down proteins in food into smaller peptides and amino acids. These enzymes work in the stomach and small intestine to facilitate the digestion of proteins.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of food?
It varies for all the food groups. For fat/lipid lipase breaks down,for proteins pepsin breaks down and for carbohydrates amylase.
What does the pepsin have to do with the digestion system?
When you eat, your body needs to digest the food and turn it into a form that the body can use for nutritional purposes. Digestion refers to the chemical breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules that can then be used by cells. This process occurs when certain enzymes are mixed with the food. One of those enzymes is pepsinogen, which is converted to pepsin; pepsin is important because it digests proteins.
What enzymes speed up the breakdown of protein in foods?
Pepsin and tripsin
What chemicals are in the stomach that break down food?
The correct answer is stomach acid
Main digestive function occurring in the stomach?
The main digestive function occurring in the stomach happens when the muscles churn the food into a consistency that is easier to digest for the rest of your intestines. The stomach releases acids and enzymes for the chemical breakdown of food. Pepsin is responsible for protein breakdown.
Which enzyme functions best in a pH environment most similar to that of human stomach enzyme?
Pepsin. It is located in the stomach. Pepsin helps with the breakdown of food and is a protein. A pH 2 is optimal for the human enzyme pepsin. If the pH level exceeds 7, pepsin becomes denatured or lose its structure; above pH 5,, it will increase function.
What do pepsin and amzlase break down?
Pepsin breaks down the proteins with the help of HCL. Pepsin works quicker nd better when the food is acidic, HCl makes the food acidic and helps pepsin break down Protein in food.
