Which animal produce less pepsin a herbivore or carnivore?

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.


How is rate of pepsin catalyzed reaction affected by using less pepsin?

Well using less pepsin means you have less of the enzyme. Now if you keep the substrate / enzyme ratio constant there won't be anything changing. If you however decrease the pepsin amount, there will be less active sites for the same amount of substrate to bind. ---> slower reaction

enzymes

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
