That is a proteolytic enzyme. Name of the enzyme is pepsin. It is secreted as inactive pepsinogen, which become active when it comes in contact with the hydrochloric acid, in the stomach.
Protein digestion primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine of the human body.
In the stomach, primarily proteins are being digested. The stomach secretes enzymes like pepsin and hydrochloric acid that break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Lipids and carbohydrates also undergo some digestion in the stomach, but protein digestion is the main focus.
Mainly, the enzyme Protease breaks up proteins into amino-acids. Also, proteins contain nitrogen which the body cannot use. Water is required to remove this nitrogen, bonding with if to form ammonia. This is subsequently secreted in urine.
Carbohydrates are digested more quickly than fat.
The microscopic particles called chylomicrons are produced by cells in the small intestine. Once they are produced, they are released into the bloodstream.In the epithelial of the small intestine. :)
Protein is digested both in the stomach (by pepsin and trypsin) and in the small intestine.
Protein is the main macromolecule that is broken down in the stomach.
Protein mostly gets digested in the stomach, in the stomach is where all the nutrients get sifted like out.
protein
The Stomach is where Proteins are digested. This needs an acid environment and enzymes like pepsin. The digested proteins are not absorbed into the body by the stomach - this happens further down the alimentary tract.
Protein digestion primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine of the human body.
Protein digestion primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine. In the stomach, the acidic environment and enzyme pepsin begin breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. These peptides are further broken down into amino acids in the small intestine with the help of pancreatic enzymes.
Pepsin in important for the digestion of protein. The enzyme is created in the stomach and breaks down the collagen protein.
Protein is digested by resting
lol, im fixing it The cells in the lining of your stomach release enzymes and hydrochloric acid
Protein digestion occurs in stomach only because it is safe for the body, as stomach has mucous secretions which prevents self digestion of stomach muscles by PEPSIN (enzyme for protein digestion) :)
Protein is firstly broken in the stomach through Chloridric acid. In the small intestine, the protein is absorbed into the blood stream through the inner wall of the small intestine.
