The pancreas produces hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen.
What structure prduces the enzyme pepsin?
Pepsinogen is secreted by cells, witch is inactive, else cells made up of proteins would have got digested themselves. This inactive pepsinogen get converted to active pepsin after coming in contact with acid in stomach.

pepsinogen (a precursor of pepsin) which helps humans digest, when activated by HCL.
What is the zymogenic form of pepsin?
pepsinogen
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.
Is pepsinogen organic or inorganic?
Pepsinogen is an inactive form of the digestive enzyme pepsin. Almost all enzymes are proteins, and proteins are organic macromolecules.
What is needed to convert pepsinogen to pepsin?
hydrochloric acid produced by parietal cells converts pepsin to pepsinogen
Is pepsin a polypeptide?
Pepsinogen is the proenzyme of pepsin. Pepsinogen is inactive, it is metabolized into the enzyme pepsin which break down proteins into small molecules.
What produces HC1 and pepsinogen?
intestinal crypts
It produce hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen?
Gastric Glands
