What cell contains protein-digesting enzymes?
Lysosomes
Why must protein-digesting enzymes be stored in the inactive form?
All the digestive enzymes are made of protein, yet some of them are protein-digesting enzymes. If they were all dumped into the same "pot" the protein digesting enzymes would quickly destroy the other enzymes, and the whole process would grind to a halt. The body must separate protein digestion from other processes.
Which pancreatic enzymes is effective in digesting protein?
Trypsin
What are the similarities of pepsin and trypsin?
Pepsin and trypsin both are protein digesting enzymes.
WHAT IS PROTEIN DIGESTING ENZYME?
Protein digesting enzymes, also known as proteases, are enzymes that break down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids. Some examples include pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, which are produced in the stomach and pancreas to aid in protein digestion. These enzymes play an important role in the breakdown and absorption of dietary protein in the digestive system.
Which part of the body contains enzymes that break down protein?
The stomach contains enzymes that break down protein.
Why the protein digesting enzymes are released in their active form?
so thay can immidiatly digeste the food
Why are protein digestive enzymes produced and released in an inactive form?
In the case of protein digesting enzymes, known as endopeptidases, such as those secreted in the stomach (pespin), it is obvious. If they were secreted active they would digest the glands which secrete the enzymes themselves (gastric glands). Instead they must be secreted in an inactive form, which once in the stomach and exposed to HCl acid and other pepsin enzymes the pepsinogen activates and begins digesting protein.
What organs produce protein-digesting enzymes?
Small Intestine,Stomach and third one i don't know
Does Hydrochloric acid digest protein?
No - it is the enzymes that reside in the acid which carry out the digestion of proteins. The acid a) provides a suitable pH for the proteases (protein-digesting enzymes) ,and b) kills microbes on our food.
How does Pancreatic Juice helps the digestion of proteins?
it has protein digesting enzymes called trypsin which breaks proteins into peptides
What glandular secretions involved in digestion would be most likely released initially as inactive precursors?
protein-digesting enzymes
