What organ begins chemical digestion of protein?
The organ that begins the chemical digestion of protein is the stomach. It secretes gastric juices, including hydrochloric acid and the enzyme pepsin, which break down protein molecules into smaller peptides. This process is crucial for further digestion and absorption of proteins in the small intestine.
What small molecules result when protein are chemically changed by digestion?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids. These are actually called the building blocks of proteins.
What happens to the small molecules in digestion?
they get smaller
What is the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules colled?
Physical digestion is the term for breaking down large food molecules into small molecules. Mechanical digestion and physical digestion mean the same thing.
The process that breaks down food into small molecules so they can be absorbed?
digestion
What are the sites and enzymes that digest protein in the body?
The first stages of digestion for protein occur in the stomach, here the enzyme pepsin breaks down the majority of the protein into separate amino acid molecules. The next stage is in the duodenum of the small intestine.
Where does most protein digestion occur in humans?
Most protein digestion occurs in the stomach. However, further digestion of proteins also occurs in the small intestine.
Where does protein digestion end in the human body?
In the human body, protein digestion ends in the small intestine. Protein is required to repair cells and to help new cells grow.
The begins digestion of protein by emulsifying food?
The stomach begins digestion of protein by secreting pepsin and hydrochloric acid to break down protein molecules into peptides. Emulsification of food occurs in the small intestine through the action of bile salts, which help break down fats into smaller droplets for better absorption by enzymes.
What is the process of breaking down food to small molecules?
digestion
Where does protein digestion ends?
lol, im fixing it The cells in the lining of your stomach release enzymes and hydrochloric acid
What two organs does protein digestion take place?
the small intestine
