What are the differences between pepsin and pepsinogen?
pepsinogen makes pepsin
Can pepsin and trypsin function in the same environment-?
no they can not because they at completely different pH levels.
Optimum temperature of pepsin?
The optimum temperature for pepsin is between 30 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius. Activity has been reported outside of this range.
What food does pepsin begin to breakdown?
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.
In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?

Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?

What are processes in digestion of foods?
Foods are digested differently for certain people. Typically, pepsin from the stomach is used to digest proteins, and amylase from the liver is used to digest carbohydrates.
What is the difference between pepsin and pepsinogen?
Pepsin is a powerful protein digesting enzyme which is far too dangerous in its active form so it is released in an inactive pepsinogen form by the cell and activated only in the digestive tract where it is required to be active.
Which two enzymes would be active in the stomach?
The small intestine receives the secretion of two glands : liver and pancreas. liver secretes bile and pancreas secrete pancreatic juice which contain pancreatic amylase and trypsin and lipase.
What is gastric juice made of?
gastric juice is made of · A protease called pepsin. · Dilute HCl which activates the pepsin and provides the correct pH for it to work. Also kills bacteria. · Mucus - which protects the wall of the stomach from self digestion and acid damage. = Gastic Acid.
Is pepsin a carbohydrate?
