Is pepsin chemical or mechanical digestion?
Mechanical
Which animal produce less pepsin a herbivore or carnivore?
A carnivore organism needs to produce more pepsin because its diet is rich predominently on meat in contrast to a herbivore . The last one contains a lot of proteins for which digestion pepsin plays a crucial role in the digestive system.
What type of nutrient is digested by pepsin in the stomach?
Pepsin in important for the digestion of protein. The enzyme is created in the stomach and breaks down the collagen protein.
What is the secretion and enzymes found in the proventriculus?
Proventriculus secretes HCl (hydrochloric acid) and pepsin. HCl breaks down and prepares the ingested food to be more easily digested by pepsin. Pepsin is responsible for digestion of protein.
Why pepsin is not digested by pepsin itself?
pepsin is an enzyme in the stomach specific to proteins sucrose is a di-sacaride ie sugar not a protein common this is easy stuff think about it each substrate has a specific enzyme this is extremely basic stuff don't consider a career in biochemistry buddy
What is the primary role of pepsin-in digestion?
Pepsin breaks apart proteins to form smaller particles called peptides. Peptides are more easily digestible by the smaller intestine
What uses peristalsis and pepsin to aid digestion?
The stomach uses peristalsis and pepsin to aid digestion.
Effect of HCl on protein digestion by pepsin and starch digestion by sallivary amylase?
pepsin, coca
What is the role of hydrochloric acid in the stomach?
There is an enzyme called pepsin in our stomach which helps in digestion of food. Hydrochloric acid helps to activate pepsin as well as kills the germs present in food.
What are released during digestion?
pepsin
Is pepsin an enzyme assist in carbohydrate digestion?
No
Is pepsin chemical or mechanical digestion?
Mechanical
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is?
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is pepsin. Pepsin is released by the mucosal lining of the stomach.
What is the end product of the stomach in digestion?
for pepsin, the end products of digestion are peptides
Which animal produce less pepsin a herbivore or carnivore?
A carnivore organism needs to produce more pepsin because its diet is rich predominently on meat in contrast to a herbivore . The last one contains a lot of proteins for which digestion pepsin plays a crucial role in the digestive system.
How is protein converted during digestion?
converted by pepsin.
Which is released inside stomach during digestion?
pepsin
