What are some enzymes found in the digestive system?
Pancreatic amylase Lipase Pepsin Salivary amylase Maltase Rennin (younger version of pepsin mostly found in babies)
Hydrochloric acid and pepsin are secreted by the?
Stomach
Where are lipids first digested?
by bile in the stomach then by lipase by bile in the stomach then by lipase
Can pepsin and trypsin function in the same environment-?
no they can not because they at completely different pH levels.
What part of the digestive system produces enzymes?
Enzymes are produced in various regions of our digestive system. Starch is digested by amylase produced by our salivary glands; protein is broken down by pepsin, manufactured in the stomach. In the upper part of the small intestine - the duodenum - all main nutrient molecules are broken down by enzymes made in our pancreas and by the small intestine itself.
What is the source of pepsin?
Pepsin is an enzyme which is secreted by Zymogen cells of the stomach. First it is secreted in an inactive form called Pepsinogen. After that Hydrochloric acid (HCl) activates it into pepsin. FUNCTION:Its function is to hydrolyse the proteins to yield peptide.
What are the hormones in the digestive tract?
saliva is secreted in the mouth contains salivary amylase and lysozyme in the stomach the gastric glands secrete gastric juice-pepsin ,renin ,and ,lipase in the small intestine the pancreatic juice -( trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen,procarboxypeptidases amylases, lipases, and nucleases )is secretedthe goblet cells sectrete mucus and the intestinal juice (succus entericus )
