What type of molecules do pepsin create?
Pepsin is an enzyme that is produced in the stomach. It splits protein molecules in order to create proteoses and peptones.
What are the protein hydrolyzing enzymes in the digestive tract?
pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase
What does the pepsin do in the stomach?
Pepsin digests protein in the highly acidic environment of the stomach.
Where does the protein denaturation reacts in the digestive system?
no
What does the digestive system convert food into?
protein
What happens to the protein molecules you eat?
Enzymes such as Trypsin, Chymotrypsin and Carboxy peptidase converts the Proteins, Peptons & proteoses into Dipeptides... Then Dipeptidase convert the dipeptides into Amino acids.. Finally this amino acids are absorbed by villi of small intestine... This happens to the Protein molecules we eat..
Where is protein broken down in the digestive system?
muscle fibers
What might happen if pepsin doesn't work properly?
Pepsin is the proteolytic enzyme of the stomach which converts proteins to peptones and dipeptides.. if this enzyme is not present, protein digestion cannot be completed... hence our body will suffer from protein deficiency..
Is pepsin a carbohydrate?
No, pepsin is a protein digestive enzyme.
Will you have an allergen reaction if you eat a cooked bee?
Probably not. Allergies are usually the body's reaction to foreign protein substances. When protein is cooked it changes. In any case, if you eat the bee, it is passing down the digestive tract which is designed to break down proteins.
Can you Describe how the amino acids changes in the protein affect the function of the protein and how this causes disease?
Can you describe how the amino acid changes in the protein affects the function of the protein?
Where does peptone originate from?
Peptones are derived generally from animal milk. They contain Vitamins Hormones Fat Trace elements etc., in addition to protein/ amino acids. But, generally peptones are used as protein source in nutrient media for growing microbes.
