What cell organelle is responsible for packaging zymogen granules?

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging zymogen granules in cells. This organelle receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and modifies them before packaging them into vesicles for transport.


Trypsin is secreted from?

Trypsin is secreted from the pancreas as an inactive zymogen called trypsinogen. It is activated in the small intestine by enteropeptidase enzyme into its active form, trypsin. Trypsin plays a crucial role in the digestion of proteins by breaking down peptides into smaller amino acids.


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 enzymes produced in the stomach?

The main enzyme in the Stomach is Pepsin which is used to digest protein. Only protein digestion occurs in the stomach and almostt no absorption, (only a little alcohol). This protein is not secreted as its active form (ie not as pepsin) but as the Zymogen (the inactive precursor to proteins) Pepsinogen which cleaves in a low pH to form the active enzyme.


Where does digestion of food first start?

Chemical digestion begins in the mouth, when our salivary amylase breaks down starch(on a-plus) the STOMACH begins digestion of protein by emulsifying food.i promise you its the right answer.

What are zymogens?

zymogen granules active the other enzymes for digestion.


What does the zymogen cell secrete?

Zymogen cells secrete inactive enzyme precursors called zymogens. These zymogens are activated outside the cell to prevent damage to the cell itself. When needed, they are converted into active enzymes to perform their specific functions in the body, such as breaking down proteins or carbohydrates.

Does hydrochloric acid produced in the stomach destroy pepsin?

No quite the opposite the low pH allows the autocleavage of pepsins zymogen pepsinogen into the active form pepsin.


What is the medical term for gland cell?

Gland cells are cells that release digestive enzymes into the gastro vascular system. Gland cells are also known as zymogen cells.


What does hydrochloric acid do to the pH of the stomach?

It decreases the pH of the stomah juices to around pH 4. This allows the zymogen pepsinogen to be cleaved into the enzym pepsin which breaks down proteins into amino acids.


Where the digestion of the proteins begins?

Chemical digestion of proteins begin in the stomach.In the stomach.The digestion of proteins begin at the stomach.The stomach. There are recesses in the wall of the stomach called pits. These pits produces pepsinogen and HCl as well are protective mucous. Pepsinogen is the zymogen (inactive form) of pepsin the enxyme which breaks down protein. It is cleaved form the zymogen form into the active form in very low pH situations, this is why HCl is secreted here.MouthChemical digestion of protein starts in the stomach.It would begin in the stomach. It would occur by the action of an enzyme called pepsin.In the stomach

How zymogens are activated?

Zymogens are activated through proteolytic cleavage by specific enzymes, converting them into their active form. This activation step usually occurs in response to specific signals or conditions in the body. Once activated, the zymogen can perform its intended biological function.


What is a proenzyme secreted by the pancreas called?

A proenzyme secreted by the pancreas is called a zymogen. Zymogens are inactive precursors of enzymes that are activated in the digestive tract to prevent the pancreas from digesting itself. Examples include trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, which are activated to their active forms, trypsin and chymotrypsin, respectively.
