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.

In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?
Bapna is the substrate that the enzyme, pepsin, is action on.
Pepsin is an enzyme released by the?
pepsin is a enzyme secreted by the gastric glands
What hormones does the stomach produce?
Cells in the pyloric region of hte stomach secrete the hormone (A) pepsin (B) amylase (C) gastrin (D) lipase
Which of these enzymes aids in coagulation of blood-pepsin rennin amylase or tryptase?
pepsin
What organic compound does pepsin work to catalyze?
what organic compound does pepsin catalyze
Which cells produce pepsin which break down proteins?
enzymes
What does gastrulation produce?
Gastrugy produce pepsin and renin pepsin help to decompose protein food why renin help to decompose milk for more information send it to my mail samueljackson626@Yahoo.com
What digestive enzyme would most affected in people who are unable to produce hydrochloric acid?
pepsin
What digestive enzyme would be most affected in people who unable to produce hydrochloric acid?
Pepsin
Why does pepsin not remain active in the duodenum?
Yes. The precursor of pepsin is called pepsinogen; it is produced by stomach cells and then activated by the HCl in the stomach. Pepsin works best at very low pH.... e.g. acid conditions of the stomach. The small intestine has glands that produce neutralize the acid. Pepsin denatures at pH's of 5,0 or higher..... so effectively it is neutralized when the chyme enters the small intestine.
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.
How would the digestion of food be affected if your stomach did not produce hydrochloric acid?
A person's inability to produce hydrochloric acid in the stomach is called achlorhydria. This condition affects the enzyme pepsin, which helps to break down proteins. Pepsin requires a low pH to be activated.
What food does pepsin begin to breakdown?
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.
The stomach and small intestine produce different enzymes is that the gene that codes for pepsin is?
expressed in the stomach but not expressed in the small intestine
In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?
Bapna is the substrate that the enzyme, pepsin, is action on.
Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?
Pepsin in the stomach
Where is pepsin produced What is the effect of pepsin on protein?
Pepsin is produced in the stomach. Pepsin is an enzyme that digests (hydrolyses) proteins into smaller polypeptide molecules.
