What are macromolecules of digestion?
I think your answer is both pepsin, a secreted inactive form of pepsinogen, and mucus.
Which proteins speed up chemical reactions?
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are called biological catalysts as well. Examples include Protease(speeds up digestion of proteins), Lipase(digestion of fats), Cellulase(digestion of cellulose),etc.
What are lysosomes are responsible for?
Disposing of old organelles and faulty proteins and such
What enzyme speeds the breakdown of proteins in food?
Peptidase is the enzyme that speeds up the break down of proteins found in food. Another enzyme is called pepsin.Protease
Is protease a white blood cell?
No. A protease is an enzyme (i.e. a chemical), used in the digestion of proteins. White blood cells are called leucocytes and there are several different kinds such as lymphocytes.
What enzyme completes the digestion of proteins?
Trypsin completes the digestion of proteins. Pepsin in the stomach starts the digestion of proteins.
What enzyme is responsible for fat digestion?
the lipase enzyme :)
What part of the pancreatic is responsible for majority of fat digestion?
lipase enzyme
What are macromolecules of digestion?
I think your answer is both pepsin, a secreted inactive form of pepsinogen, and mucus.
What digestion is occurring in the stomach?
The stomach has a very acidic environment. This favors the breakdown of proteins. An enzyme (i.e. a biological catalyst) called trypsin is active at acidic conditions (gastric juice) and is responsible for the break down of proteins in the stomach.
Which proteins speed up chemical reactions?
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are called biological catalysts as well. Examples include Protease(speeds up digestion of proteins), Lipase(digestion of fats), Cellulase(digestion of cellulose),etc.
Churns food and begins protein digestion?
When pepsinogen is mixed with hydrochloric acid, it makes pepsin. Pepsin is the enzyme that begins the digestion of proteins in stomach.
What are the Enzyme reactions in the stomach?
Pepsin, Hydrochloric acid. First one is enzyme deals with proteins (meat for example). All in the stomach.They all in one is called gastric juice. Gastric juice is responsible for breaking down foods you eat so digestion can continue in the small intestine.
Where is the enzyme that breaks down proteins?
Digestion of protein starts from stomach. In stomach the proteolytic enzymes such as pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin are produced and act of proteins derived from food. But in general, an enzyme can break down proteins anywhere (in lab environment too) if there is optimal condition (such as buffer, pH) is provided.
In the stomach HCI helps to catalyze the formation of pepsin from pepsinogen to do what task?
Pepsin is the enzyme that starts the digestion of proteins in the stomach. Specifically, it acts on proteins and breaks them into polypeptides
What nutrients break down in the stomach?
Proteins are digested in the stomach. Pepsin is the enzyme, which is responsible for breaking the peptide bond of the proteins.
How does pineapple help digestion?
It is widely believed that ripe fresh pineapple contains bromelain enzymes which helps healing, reducing inflammation and improving digestion. The digestion improvement was brought by the enzymes which act specifically to break down protein, thus ease digestion.
