Rennin is a biological enzyme present in the stomach of infant mammals. It causes the milk to solidify which slows down the digestion of the milk. This is known as coagulation or curdling. This enables the infant to absorb more nutrients and proteins from the milk before it is excreted.
What else can I help you with?
What pH does rennin work best?
the optimal pH for rennin is around 1-2, as this closely resembles the acidic environment of the stomach where rennin is most commonly found. However rennin also works at neutral pH, although at a much lower level of reaction. This is necessary because sometimes the stomach is diluted by outside materials.
What does rennin do in the stomach?
Rennin is an enzyme produced in the stomach that helps curdle milk by breaking down casein, a protein found in milk. This is an important step in the digestion of milk proteins, allowing them to be more effectively digested and absorbed in the small intestine.
Where is rennin secreted?
Rennin or chymosin is secreted in the fourth stomach of a cow. See the related link for more information.
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
How effective is enzyme replacement therapy in treating enzyme deficiencies?
Enzyme replacement therapy is generally effective in treating enzyme deficiencies by providing the missing enzyme to the body. It can help improve symptoms and quality of life for patients with enzyme deficiencies.
What is enzyme that begins milk digestion?
the answer is pepsin.
What is the enzyme in gastric fluid which coagulates casein?
Rennin
What is a milk-coagulating enzyme in children not in adults?
rennin
What difference between renin and rennin?
Rennin : It is an enzyme (protein) secreted by kidneys to regulate the blood pressure. It's a digestive enzyme in gastric juice. Renin :It is a hormone.
What happens to the enzyme rennin when the temperature is raised to the boiling point?
When the temperature is raised to the boiling point, the enzyme rennin will denature, meaning it will lose its shape and function due to the high heat. This will render the enzyme ineffective in catalyzing reactions.
When cheese is made the enzyme called rennin which curdles milk can be isolated from?
Rennin, also known as chymosin, is an enzyme found in the stomach lining of calves. It can be isolated from the stomachs of calves or produced using biotechnology. Rennin is used in cheese making to coagulate milk, separating it into curds and whey.
What is the gastric enzyme found in infants?
Rennin, it helps with digestion of milk during infancy and childhood
Milk-coagulating enzyme found in children but not usually in adults is?
Rennin, it was one of my science questions :-)
Why does rennin turn milk into cheese?
Rennin is an enzyme - which binds the milk proteins together into curds. This makes the curds easy to process into cheese. The waste liquid (whey) is used in animal feed.
What enzyme is responsible for converting milk proteint in the stomach to substance that looks like sour milk in infants?
rennin
What enzyme contained in gastric juice?
Protease (pepsin) plus hydrochloric acid
What pH does rennin work best?
the optimal pH for rennin is around 1-2, as this closely resembles the acidic environment of the stomach where rennin is most commonly found. However rennin also works at neutral pH, although at a much lower level of reaction. This is necessary because sometimes the stomach is diluted by outside materials.
