There are 2 organs in the digestive system which secrete juices- STOMACH:It secretes gastric juice which contains pepsin for Protein digestion. SMALL INTESTINE:It is the site for the complete digestion. The intestinal juice finally breaks down carbohydrates to glucose, proteins to amino acids and fats to fatty acids or glycerol.

Pancreas.
What breaks down protein into amino acids?
Protease in general. Pepsin in the stomach and trypsin in the small intestine in mammals break down protein into polypeptide chains and erepsin in the small intestine break down polypeptide chains into amino acids.
What enzymes break down protein into amino acids?
Protease in general. Pepsin in the stomach and trypsin in the small intestine in mammals break down protein into polypeptide chains and erepsin in the small intestine break down polypeptide chains into amino acids.
Where does gastric juices break up proteins and other molecules?
Food passes from the Mouth to the Pharynx to the Esophagus and then to the stomach, where gastric juices break up proteins and other molecules. From the Stomach, food passes to the Small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed into the body`s bloodstream. Creative Biogene
Which organ digest protein?
The protein is first digested in the stomach, where it is broken down by the acid and enzymes.Then it goes into the small intestine, where enzymes from the pancreas help to break it down further into individual amino acids.The organs that assist with protein digestion are bold.
Is insulin lipid or water soluble?
No it is not a lipid. Insulin is made up of proteins. It cannot be injected orally.
What is produce digestive juices?
"Produce digestive juices" Digestive juices are produced by your body in your mouth (saliva) stomach (acids) and in many other places down your digestive system, they help break down the food we eat and the other things we drink or take (eg:drugs/medication). If there were no digestive juices our body would not be able to use our food for our advantage
What liquid secreted into the stomach to break down food?
stomach acids aka lysosomes break down the food
What are the roles of the liver and pancreas in the digestion of fats?
pancreas produces insulin to keep blood sugars under control liver processes toxins like drugs and alcohol
What breaks down nutrients in a cell?
no cells do not break down nutrients. digestive enzymes do and depending on where or what in the body you want to break down depends on what kind. for example in the mouth there is amylase enzyme which breaks down starch or pepsin in the stomach which breaks down protein. trypsin and erepsin also break down protein but in the small intestine. hope this is ok
