There are many different chemicals in the stomach.Digestive enzymes pepsin, rennin, and lipase interact to break down the food. In addition, hydrochloric acid creates suitable environment for the enzymes and assists in the digestion.

The chemical produce in the stomach is the mucosa, it lets out tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food.

∙ 13y agoOnce food is chewed and swallowed, it is called bolus instead of food. It travels down the esophagus and into the stomach, where hydrochloric acid and pepsin are produced, which denature (unravel) proteins. This acidic substance is now called chyme and travels to the small intestine where the pH is neutralized and the nutrients are absorbed.

What breaks down protein in stomach?
enzymes
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 chemical in the stomach begins to denature protein in the stomach?
They are the enzymes . Predominant one is Pepsin
Which part of the body contains enzymes that break down protein?
The stomach contains enzymes that break down protein.
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 food substances would be digested by the enzymes in the stomach?
protein
Where are most digestive enzymes produced?
Most digestive enzymes are produced in the stomach. You will find that with the complex ducts throughout the human body these enzymes can travel to other areas of the digestive system. These areas include the salivary glands, the stomach, the pancreas, and the intestines.
Explain how bile produces by the liver and enzymes produced in the pancreas function in the small intestine?
The bile produced in the liver eats the fats in the food and the enzymes produced in the pancreas breaks down the fats before the the bile eats it because the enzymes break down the fats in to smaller particlesIt helps neutralize the stomach acid so it wont burn it.as part of the digestive system, the pancreas produces enzymes that flow into the small intestine and help break down starches, proteins, and fats.
What are the enzymes produced by the esophagus?
The esophagus does not produce any enzymes. Even so, sometimes digestive enzymes produced in the stomach can make their way into the esophagus due to a hernia or a condition called gastroesophagic reflux.
Is your stomach lined with mucus?
Yes, your stomach is lined with mucus. The chemicals the stomach secretes (i.e., pepsin) are designed to digest protein. But your stomach walls are also made of protein! The mucus coats the lining of your stomach so the chemicals do not destroy the lining.
What parts of the body produce enzymes?
The stomach contains enzymes that break down protein.
What does the stomach use to help break down protein?
The stomach uses the enzymes to break down foods.
