What else can I help you with?
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is?
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is pepsin. Pepsin is released by the mucosal lining of the stomach.
Can you fine protease in the small intestine?
Protease is an enzyme made in the pancreas and delivered to the small intestine through the oddi sphincter.
The digestion of fat occurs in the small intestine the enzyme for this is called?
Lipase
In humans chemical digestion is accomplished by enzyme action that begins in the mouth in ends in the?
In the small intestine where enzymes from the pancreas and small intestine finsh the job
Maltase and sucrase is made in?
Maltase is an enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine.
What enzyme break down maltose?
Maltase breaks down enzymes in the small intestine.
Why does stomach and small intestine produce different enzymes?
because each enzyme has an own purpose
Where is the maltase enzyme located in the human body?
The maltase enzyme is located in the small intestine of the human body, specifically in the brush border of the intestinal lining. It plays a crucial role in breaking down maltose into glucose molecules to be absorbed by the body.
Where is the Amylase Enzyme located?
There are two types of amylase enzymes. Salivary amylase is known as ptyalin; act upon carbohydrates in the mouth. Ptyalin begins polysaccharide digestion in the mouth; the process is completed in the small intestine by the pancreatic amylase, sometimes called amylopsin.
How does small intestine help in the process of digestion?
there is an enzyme called lipase which converts fats into fatty acids.
What is the portion of the gastrointestinal tract that absorbs food?
The process of digestion is mainly in the stomach but lots of things are also digested in the small intestine e.g. maltose into glucose (enzyme used is maltase), protein into amino acids (protease is the enzyme) and lipids into glycerol and fatty acids (lipase is the enzyme) When these have been broken down they are absorbed through the lining of the small intestine where they are absorbed into the blood (absorbtion) and used as raw materials for growth and tissue repair (assimilation). So the answer is the small intestine Hope that helped =)
Where is the predominant site of dietary fat?
The small intestine is the main site of dietary fat digestion. The small intestine is part of the gastrointestinal tract. The majority of fat absorption occurs in the ileum of the small intestines Fats (or lipids) are digested using the enzyme lipase (made in the pancreas and small intestine) throughout the small intestine. The products of this reaction are glycerol and 3x fatty acid molecules.
