What else can I help you with?
The enzyme pepsin is produced in the cells of the stomach but not in the cells of the small intestine The small intestine produces a different enzyme trypsin The reason that the stomach what?
The reason the stomach produces pepsin is because pepsin is active in the acidic environment of the stomach, which is needed to break down proteins into peptides. Trypsin, produced in the small intestine, functions in a less acidic environment and helps further break down peptides into smaller molecules for absorption. This specialization allows the different digestive enzymes to work effectively in their respective environments.
How does trypsin work in cell culture?
im not definitely sure but in the digestive process, trypsin acts with the other proteinases to break down dietary protein molecules to their component peptides and amino acids. Trypsin continues the process of digestion (begun in the stomach) in the small intestine where a slightly alkaline environment (about p H 8) promotes its maximal enzymatic activity
How does pH affect enzyme activity Use the enzymes pepsin and trypsin as examples?
Enzymes work within a range of pH levels. Pepsin, which is found in the stomach works in an acidic environment, while trypsin functions in a basic surrounding in the intestines. Increasing or decreasing the pH levels can stop the activity of these enzymes.
Which digestive enzymes are active at a site different from the site where they are produced?
Trypsin, lipase, chymotrypsin, pancreatic amylase, steapsin, elastases, carboxypeptidase, and nucleases. ~answered by FightingLucario
Where in your body might it be beneficial to have enzymes that work well in very acidic environment?
Enzymes that work well in acidic environments are beneficial in the stomach. The stomach has a very low pH due to the presence of hydrochloric acid, which helps in digestion of food. Enzymes that function well in these conditions can aid in breaking down proteins and other nutrients efficiently.
Which enzymes work best in acid?
trypsin
Why is Pepsin replaced by Trypsin in the small intestine?
Unlike pepsin, trypsin is secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine, explains Dr. Gary Thibodeau in his book "Anatomy and Physiology." It also breaks the bonds between amino acids, but it focuses on different amino acid bonds. Specifically, trypsin breaks the bonds that follow the amino acids lysine and arginine. Since different proteolytic enzymes can break different bonds, many enzymes have to work together to break a protein down completely.

Where in the body does the trypsin work?
Trypsin is a digestive enzyme produced in the pancreas that works in the small intestine. It breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, assisting in the process of protein digestion and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
In What organ of the digestive system does trypsin work?
Kan Madala
What pH level does trypsin work best?
Trypsin works best at a pH level of around 7-9. It is most active in slightly alkaline conditions. Changes in pH can affect the activity and stability of trypsin.
What pH does trypsin work at the best?
The optimal pH for trypsin is 8. It is found in the small intestine and digests proteins and polypeptides there.
What does the enzyme protein digest?
The general term is "proteases" Pepsin cleaves at the "n" terminus produced by the stomach and works in an acidic pH environment. Chymotrypsin and Trypsin are produced by the pancreas which is below the stomach and work in a more basic pH environment.

What conditions are needed for trypsin a pancreatic enzyme to work?
search it up on wikiAnswers.
Will an enzyme produce by your salivary glands in your mouth work well in your stomach?
No. Because enymes work specifically therefore the enymes produced by your mouth won't work in your stomach.
