The stomach and small intestine produce different enzymes is that the gene that codes for pepsin is?
expressed in the stomach but not expressed in the small intestine
Why are different enzymes found in different regions of the gut?
First, food goes to stomach where pepsin (a protease enzyme) is released into the stomach. The food then enters the small intestine and at this point, any pancreatic enzymes are released from the pancreas. The enzymes present in the small intestine include: Lactose, DPP IV and dissacharrides.
Why does stomach and small intestine produce different enzymes?
because each enzyme has an own purpose
What enzymes in stomach?
pepsin
What are the enzymes present in the stomach?
Nothing is in the stomach except brain
What are the Enzymes found in your stomach?
pepcin
Are enzymes present in the stomach?
yes.
Does the stomach produce the most enzymes?
Your saliva produces enzymes to break down food and your stomach has them too, but I am pretty sure that your stomach doesn't produce as much as your saliva.
Can salivary enzymes function in the acidic environment of the stomach?
No, enzymes like salivary amylase will denature when subjected to the low pH of the gastric juices. This is why there are similar, but slightly different enzymes released in the stomach. Some (like pepsin) are only activated through the high hydrochloric acid concentration.
Why stomach needs acids?
Acids and enzymes are what begin the process of "digesting" our food. Saliva supplies many of the enzymes, the stomach supplies the acid.
What organs produce enzymes that help in digestion?
The small intestine produces digestive enzymes. Certain things that you eat are digested in different parts of the body by different systems.
What is the stomach contains with?
stomach contain HCl and enzymes called renin and pepsin
