What else can I help you with?
Are pepsin and trypsin classified as sugars?
pepsin and trypsin are classified as proteins
What are the similarities of pepsin and trypsin?
Pepsin and trypsin both are protein digesting enzymes.
Pepsin and trypsin are classified as what?
They are classified as proteins
Compare the optimum pH levels for trypsin and pepsin. how is the optimal pH level of pepsin relevant to it's particular location in the body?
pepsin is found in the stomach and the pH there is 2 while trypsin is found in the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum) and the pH there is 8-9. Thus, the optimum pH levels for pepsin and trypsin are 2 and 8-9 respectively.
Can pepsin and trypsin function in the same environment-?
no they can not because they at completely different pH levels.
Why is Pepsin replaced by Trypsin in the small intestine?
Unlike pepsin, trypsin is secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine, explains Dr. Gary Thibodeau in his book "Anatomy and Physiology." It also breaks the bonds between amino acids, but it focuses on different amino acid bonds. Specifically, trypsin breaks the bonds that follow the amino acids lysine and arginine. Since different proteolytic enzymes can break different bonds, many enzymes have to work together to break a protein down completely.
What are five functions of stomach acid?
Here are two to get you started:To provide ideal pH conditions for the enzymes pepsin and trypsin - proteases responsible for breaking down proteins in our food.To kill off any bacteria or other pathogens that are contaminating the food we eat.After this, I'm stuck for ideas...I'm not too sure that the first answer is completely correct. Pepsin is correct, but I believe that trypsin is secreted by the pancreas and enters the GI tract in the duodenum, not the stomach. Therefore, the contents of the stomach have been nuetralized to a pH of 8 (up from a pH of 2 in the stomach) by the time trypsin is exposed to them, which is trypsin's optimal pH.Trypsin is also activated from trypsynogen (its inactive form) by enteropeptidase, which is an enzyme secreted by the cells of the duodenum, and also not found in the stomach.Therefore, I believe that providing the ideal pH for trypsin is NOT one of the function of the stomach.On another note, other functions of the stomach acid are to convert pepsinogen into its active form of pepsin, along with providing the ideal environment for pepsin activity; and to denature protiens so that their bonds are more exposed and easliy accessible by pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin.
Which of the enzyme-substrate pairings is incorrect Nuclease-DNA Trypsin-protein Pepsin-carbohydrate Amylase-starch or Lipase-fat?
Trypsin-carbohydrates
Is the optimal pH of trypsin acidic or basic?
The optimum PH of pepsin ranges between 1.0 and 4.0. Pepsin exhibits about 90 percent of the maximum activity and about 35% of the maximum activity.
What enzymes perform major proteolytic activities in the digestive tract?
The major proteolytic enzymes in the digestive tract are pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase. Pepsin is mainly found in the stomach, while trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase are produced in the pancreas and released into the small intestine to further break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids for absorption.
How does trypsin gets its name?
Trypsin is one of the 3 proteolytic digestive enzymes produced in the pancreas as Trypsinogen and is activated in the Duodenum. Trypsin derives its name from the Greek word tryein- wear down + (english) pepsin -akin to.
What chemical (s) can be found in your stomach to digest proteins?
Three enzymes are important: pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin.
