What else can I help you with?
Suggest why the Ph of the gut secretions varies at different regions in the gut?
the answer to your question is simple and easily comprehensible.Since there are lots of different enzymes being secreted in the stomach(enzymes are made of protein and can be denatured by alternation of pH), each of these enzymes require to have their specific optimal pH.Grade 12West Vancouver Secondary 2010
Where do enzymes catalyze reactions?
enzymes catayze chemical reaction where Eva the substrate and active site meet wheather that be in you mouth stomach , larger /smaller intesine or lower gut of whitch the biological enzymes are found.
What organ breaks down starch in the diet?
enzymes break down starch, they are found in your mouth, stomach, gut etc.
What does the body uses to release energy from food?
Enzymes to break down proteins and carbohydrates, absorption in the gut (intestines etc)
Why can we use potatoes as a food source but not wood?
the polysaccharides in the potato (i.e. long chain starches) can be broken down by cooking into short chain starches that can be digested by enzymes in the human gut to glucose, which provides nutritional valuethe polysaccharides in in wood (e.g. cellulose, pectin) cannot be broken down by cooking or by enzymes in the human gut, so it provides no nutritional value
Why are differant enzymes found in differant 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.

What are the differences and similarities between a perch and a human in the digestive system?
There are many differences and similarities between a perch and a human in the digestive system. One is the enzymes found in the gut.
What food type makes enzymes?
Enzymes are found in all living things - they are the catalysts for most biochemical reactions - so all foods that are living will have enzymes. Once they have been cooked or preserved the enzymes will have denatured and no longer be present.
How does consuming garlic aid in digestion?
Consuming garlic aids in digestion by stimulating the production of digestive enzymes that help break down food more efficiently. Garlic also has prebiotic properties that promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which can improve overall digestion and gut health.
Why is it important to have a particular PH in particular region in the gut?
If a PH level is altered in the human body by a little bit, the enzymes for digestion will break down into their composite elements and compounds
What part of the digestive system produces enzymes?
Enzymes are produced in various regions of our digestive system. Starch is digested by amylase produced by our salivary glands; protein is broken down by pepsin, manufactured in the stomach. In the upper part of the small intestine - the duodenum - all main nutrient molecules are broken down by enzymes made in our pancreas and by the small intestine itself.
