Which digestive enzyme begins chemical digestion of protein?
Protease
What are the final product of protein digestion?
A protein is a substance which is built up by at least 50 amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.The digestion starts by the human body producing the enzyme "Pepsin". This takes place in ourstomach. In the duodenum the enzyme "Trypsin" will be added. This enzyme will finish the digestion of the protein. The final product is now amino acids and peptide chains, ready for absorption.
Why enzyme pepsin works only in the stomach?
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) :)
Which enzyme help animals to digest plants?
Cellulase helps in digestion of plant cell wall , Amylase helps in digestion of starch .
What helps with the protein digestion?
hydrochloric acid
Protein digestion in the stomach results primarily from secretions released by what?
Protein digestion in the stomach results primarily from secretions released by the gastric glands. The enzyme that is secreted is called pepsinogen.
Where does digestion first occur?
Digestion of food starts in the mouth. Saliva contains an enzyme that helps breakdown food.

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 enzyme begins the breakdown of protein?
HCL (hydrochloric acid) begins digestion in stomach.
How does pineapple help digestion?
It is widely believed that ripe fresh pineapple contains bromelain enzymes which helps healing, reducing inflammation and improving digestion. The digestion improvement was brought by the enzymes which act specifically to break down protein, thus ease digestion.
Churns food and begins protein digestion?
When pepsinogen is mixed with hydrochloric acid, it makes pepsin. Pepsin is the enzyme that begins the digestion of proteins in stomach.
