What pH does trypsin work at the best?
The optimal pH for trypsin is 8. It is found in the small intestine and digests proteins and polypeptides there.
What pH do neither enzymes work in?
at a ph of 13
What is the pH of Pepsi?
the ph level of pepsi is 2
What did the sodium carbonate do to the action of trypsin?
it makes the pH o the solution to 8.5 or above where trypsin is active.
How does pH affect enzyme activity Use the enzymes pepsin and trypsin as examples?
Enzymes work within a range of pH levels. Pepsin, which is found in the stomach works in an acidic environment, while trypsin functions in a basic surrounding in the intestines. Increasing or decreasing the pH levels can stop the activity of these enzymes.
Compare the optimum pH levels for trypsin and pepsin. how is the optimal pH level of pepsin relevant to it's particular location in the body?
pepsin is found in the stomach and the pH there is 2 while trypsin is found in the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum) and the pH there is 8-9. Thus, the optimum pH levels for pepsin and trypsin are 2 and 8-9 respectively.
What has a pH 8 optimum digests polypeptides into peptides?
trypsin
If pepsin and trypsin had to function together what pH would produce the highest activity?
It will function at about around the pH of 2.5.
Can pepsin and trypsin function in the same environment-?
no they can not because they at completely different pH levels.
PH level of pepsi?
its about 3.4
Ph level in pepsi?
It is about 2.4
What is the PH level of Pepsi and is it acidic or alkaline?
pH is 2.49. It is acidic.
