Is food reacting with pepsin a chemical or mechanical change?
This is a chemical change. Pepsin catalyzes the chemical breakdown of food.
Is pepsin chemical or mechanical digestion?
Mechanical
Is effect of pepsin on proteins a chemical reaction?
Yes, it is. Proteins in the presence of pepsin are converted into peptide chains (polypeptides). The reaction is : Proetins→ (In the presence of pepsin-to be written over the arrow) Polypeptides.
What chemical in the stomach begins to denature protein in the stomach?
They are the enzymes . Predominant one is Pepsin
What are other chemical reactions that pepsin can catalyze?
You can have really bad diarreah. It will smell.. Good luck
Is pepsin and lipase a chemical reaction?
Pepsin and lipase are chemical compounds, not reactions.
Is food reacting with pepsin a chemical or mechanical change?
This is a chemical change. Pepsin catalyzes the chemical breakdown of food.
Is pepsin chemical or mechanical digestion?
Mechanical
What is a chemical that helps break down food?
Pepsin =)
Is effect of pepsin on proteins a chemical reaction?
Yes, it is. Proteins in the presence of pepsin are converted into peptide chains (polypeptides). The reaction is : Proetins→ (In the presence of pepsin-to be written over the arrow) Polypeptides.
What is chemical found in the stomach needed to activate pepsinogen to pepsin?
You think probable to pepsin or hydrochloric acid.

What chemical in the stomach helps digest protein?
This is the gastric juice, a mixture of hydrochloric acid and pepsin.
What chemical (s) can be found in your stomach to digest proteins?
Three enzymes are important: pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin.
Why does pepsin not digest sucrose?
Sucrose is a type of carbohydrate. Pepsin is a protease, so it can only digest proteins, because enzymes are specific to one kind of molecule. Sucrose would be broken down by a carbohydrase.
Does gastric juice contain enzymes?
The stomach produces pepsin, mucus, HCl and intrinsic factor (which helps absorb B12). This is called gastric juice. Pepsin is a protease, or an enzyme that breaks chemical bonds in protein.Pepsin uses the carboxylic acid group on one of its amino acids to break the chemical bond between nitrogen and oxygen in the proteins found in food.
