Yes, I believe so. The enzymes and digestive juices break down food.

I believe that that they do because once the food goes down the food pipe which is links to the mouth to the stomach it sorts out which section the food goes into.
I also believe to the enzymes break the carbohyhrdrates and the enzyes produce bile

What enzyme is in the stomach?
The enzyme present in the stomach is pepsin. It breaks down the proteins in food while in your stomach and helps with the digestive process.
Is stomach acid an enzyme?
Stomach acid, or hydrochloric acid (HCl), is not an enzyme, because stomach acid is neither a protein nor a catalyst.
In which Organ of the digestive system does pepsin works?
Breaks down the proteins into peptide chains
What class of food does the enzyme secreted by stomach act on?
Proteins are the nutrients that are digested by the enzyme pepsin, sectreted by the stomach.
What main enzyme does the stomach secrete?
The stomach primarily secretes the enzyme pepsin, which is a type of protease, which breaks down proteins.
Can pepsin and trypsin function in the same environment-?
no they can not because they at completely different pH levels.
Is homemade enzyme harmful to stomach?
no
What is the function of an enzyme?
The function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a reaction.
What is the active site for an enzyme?
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
Which enzyme functions best in a pH environment most similar to that of human stomach enzyme?
Pepsin. It is located in the stomach. Pepsin helps with the breakdown of food and is a protein. A pH 2 is optimal for the human enzyme pepsin. If the pH level exceeds 7, pepsin becomes denatured or lose its structure; above pH 5,, it will increase function.
What does enzymes functions depend on?
The function of an enzyme is dependent on the shape of the enzyme. The structure and shape determines what the enzyme can do.
Where is enzyme system found in the body?
stomach
