It neutralizes the hydrochloric acid from the stomach. When the digestion of the protein is finished in the stomach, the HCl is not removed from the stomach and is passed down to the duodenum. Since the small intestine cannot handle such low pH, it releases trypsin which neutralizes the HCl so that the optimal level of pH can be reached (around 7). Without trypsin, all the digestive enzymes releases in the small intestine, along with the wall of the intestine itself would be broken down and eaten away by the strong acid.

∙ 9y agoTrypsin and chymotrypsin are the enzymes, that are secreted by your pancreas. They digest the polypeptides into amino acids. Polypeptides are formed from proteins in the stomach by the action of pepsin.
Trypsin, from the pancreas, is an enzyme that helps in the digestion of proteins.

What is the optimum temperature for trypsin?
37°C 37°C this is body temperature. trypsin works in the duodenum during digestion at this optimun temperature.
Where is trypsin released into?
Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme, important for the digestion of proteins. In humans, the protein is produced in its inactive form, trypsinogen, within the pancreas.Trypsinogen enters the small intestine, via the common bile duct, where it converted to active trypsin.
What type of digestion is produced by breaking down and chewing food?
Chemical digestion
How does Pancreatic Juice helps the digestion of proteins?
it has protein digesting enzymes called trypsin which breaks proteins into peptides
Long convoluted tube where chemical digestion is completled?
The small intestine is a convoluted tube in which chemical digestion is completed..
What enzyme completes the digestion of proteins?
Trypsin completes the digestion of proteins. Pepsin in the stomach starts the digestion of proteins.
Which enzymes aids in the digestion of fats -?
trypsin, bile, lipase
Is trypsin a protein?
No, trypsinogen is a zymogen, an enzyme precursor, an inactive chemical produced by the pancreas. In the intestine, trypsinogen is activated by the mucosal enzyme enteropeptidease to produce the enzyme trypsin which is critical to digestion.
What is the optimum temperature for trypsin?
37°C 37°C this is body temperature. trypsin works in the duodenum during digestion at this optimun temperature.
What kind of acid is trypsin that aids in digestion by helping to break down that are foods eaten?
Trypsin is an enzyme, a chemical compound that catalyzes (helps) another chemical change. It is made by the pancreas and secreted into the small intestine in the digestive juices to digest proteins. Some plants, namely papaya which contains papain, produce proteases that are similar.
What chemical substance that are absorbed by the body through the process of digestion are called?
There are many. Digestion is a twofold process; physical digestion and enzymatic digestion. Physical digestion is the act of eating food to break it into smaller parts. Enzymatic digestion is where enzymes (chemical compounds produced by the body) break the food down at a molecular level. Enzymes include salivary amylase, pepsin, lipase, trypsin and many, many more.
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.
Where is trypsin released into?
Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme, important for the digestion of proteins. In humans, the protein is produced in its inactive form, trypsinogen, within the pancreas.Trypsinogen enters the small intestine, via the common bile duct, where it converted to active trypsin.
What is the site of action for trypsin?
Enzyme trypsin is one of the enzymes that plays part during the process of digestion. Its site of action is in the small intestine where it breaks protein to large peptides.
What are the types of digestion?
Chemical digestion and mechanical digestion
Is digestion a physical or chemical change?
Its a chemical change.
Where would the enzyme trypsin best function?
Enzyme trypsin is one of the enzymes that plays part during the process of digestion. Its site of action is in the small intestine where it breaks protein to large peptides.
