What would most likely happen to pepsin that traveled with the food from the stomach to the small intestines?
the pepsin would become innactive
What would most likely happen to pepsin enzyme that traveled with the food from the stomach to the small intestines?
the pepsin would become innactive
What would happen when the enzyme pepsin that normally acts on protein in the stomach is pushed into the small intestine that has a relatively high pH?
the pepsin would become innactive
What would happen to the pepsin if you take an antacid auch as alka seltzer?
Antacids have powerful adsorbent and precipitating effect on pepsin, which can lead to its reduction
What would happen if you didn't have pepsin?
you cant poop. then your stomach will hurt
What effect would decreased incubation temperatures have on pepsin?
Pepsin activity would decrease and at a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
What effect would decrease incubation temperature have on pepsin activity?
Pepsin activity would decrease and at a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
What effect would decreased incubation temperature have on pepsin activity and why?
Pepsin activity would decrease. At a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
What would happen if you used drugs?
You can get hooked and get really addicted. You will start to isolate yourself from everybody else.
Why would you predict the pepsin would not digest starch?
Because Pepsin is the active form of a protein manufactured in the stomach.
What would be happen if HCL were not secreted in stomach?
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the glands present on the stomach walls. It dissolves bits of food and creates an acidic medium. The acidic medium allows pepsinogen to be converted into pepsin. Pepsin plays an important role in the digestion of proteins. Therefore, if HCl were not secreted in the stomach, then pepsin would not be activated. This would affect protein digestion. A pH of about 1.8 is necessary for proteins to be digested. This pH is achieved by HCl.
Do you expect that optimal PH for pepsin would be the same as that for rennin?
The optimal pH for pepsin and rennin is about the same, 2.0 and 3.4 respectively. Pepsin is slightly more acidic.
