trypsin
um what does it do?
Enzymes work best in biological processes when they are at their optimal temperature and pH levels.
Enzymes generally work best within a specific pH range that is optimal for their function, and this can vary depending on the enzyme. Some enzymes work best in acidic conditions, while others work best in alkaline conditions. Maintaining the proper pH is important for enzyme activity.
Enzymes work best at a pH that is specific to each enzyme, known as its optimal pH. This optimal pH is typically around neutral, or pH 7, for many enzymes found in the human body. However, some enzymes may work best in acidic or basic conditions depending on their specific function.
Hydochloric acid is produced in the stomach to a) kill pathogens in our food b) gives optimum pH for enzymes to work in
There are many benefits to Stomach Acid. One of the reasons is that some of the Enzymes that work in the stomach work best at the pH of 2 which is similar to the pH of Stomach acid which is Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). This makes the process of Digestion go much faster. Another benefit is that the Hydrochloric Acid along with the Muscle Contraction in the Stomach helps break down any bones you eat and turns all the food into mushy smaller pieces which then goes to the Small Intestine where it can be broken down by other Enzymes and then sucked into the bloodstream.
the hydrochloric acid is likely to prevent the digestion of starch by carbohydrase enzymes in the stomache because the carbohydrase enzymes optimum PH is PH7. The Hydrochloric acid in the stomache makes the PH in the stomache PH3 therefore the stomache has too weak a PH for the enzymes to be able to work.
the enzymes work best at 37 degree celsius in your body-it depends on the organism you talk about.
Hydrochloric Acid with some enzymes too!
body temperature
Enzymes work best at this temperature.
Enzymes are sensitive to changes in pH and only work with a relatively small pH range. Since vinegar is an acid, the pH of the solution containing the enzymes is changes when vinegar is added.
