the pancreas
Proteins are digested in your stomach. Pepsinogen is secreted by the chief cells. Pepsinogen is converted to pepsin by hydrochloric acid. This pepsin brakes the peptide bond of proteins to form polypeptides.
Protease enzymes, also known as peptidases, help digest proteins by breaking down the peptide bonds that hold amino acids together in proteins. These enzymes are produced in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of proteins.
Food doesn't digeset in your mouth. It digests in your stomache. Food doesn't digeset in your mouth. It digests in your stomache.
The enzyme that digests proteins into peptides is called protease.
The common bile duct and the pancreatic duct join and enter the duodenum (first section of the small intestine) at the major duodenal papilla.AnswerThe main function of the pancreas in digestion is to produce and release enzymes necessary to break down the nutrients that enter the duodenum. They are NaH2CO3 which neutralizes, Lipase which digests lipids, Amalayze which digests carbohydrates, Peptidase which digest proteins.
The stomach is the main organ responsible for digesting proteins. It secretes enzymes like pepsin and hydrochloric acid to break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids for absorption in the small intestine.
SMALL INTESTINE-The small intestine is an organ towards the end of the digestive tract that digests food into nutrients into the bloodstream through vili. The small intestine digests the proteins, minerals, sugars, and vitamins the human body needs. SMALL INTESTINE-The small intestine is an organ towards the end of the digestive tract that digests food into nutrients into the bloodstream through vili. The small intestine digests the proteins, minerals, sugars, and vitamins the human body needs.
The starches, or carbohydrates, that you eat do not get digested in the stomach, it only digests proteins. Your pancreas secretes digestive juices that digest all three forms of food; proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. The specific enzyme that aids in the digestion on starches is pancreatic lipase which it delivers to the first part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
It's not the structure itself, but rather the enzymes and other chemicals secreted in these structures that digests food. These areas are:mouth (carbohydrates)stomach (proteins)small intestine (everything except proteins)
The gallbladder, which is an accessory organ of the small intestines, makes bile which is secreted into the small intestine and emulsifies (breaks down) fats.
The stomach digests the proteins in a meal. When it is finished digesting those proteins, the food leaves the stomach to be digested more and absorbed in the small intestine.
Stomach and small intestine Protein digestion starts in the stomach, then the small intestine completely digests it.
Pepsin digest protein in the acidic environment of the stomach, Pancreatic Protease digests protein in the basic environment of the small intestine.
The enzyme responsible for digesting proteins is called pepsin. It is produced in the stomach and helps break down proteins into smaller peptides for better absorption in the small intestine.

the small intestine absorbs and digests food. the big intestine takes out waste from your body.
Proteins are digested in your stomach. Pepsinogen is secreted by the chief cells. Pepsinogen is converted to pepsin by hydrochloric acid. This pepsin brakes the peptide bond of proteins to form polypeptides.
