Is effect of pepsin on proteins a chemical reaction?

Yes, it is. Proteins in the presence of pepsin are converted into peptide chains (polypeptides). The reaction is : Proetins→ (In the presence of pepsin-to be written over the arrow) Polypeptides.


Why arn't lipase and amylase secreted into the stomach with pepsin?

Lipase and amylase require an alkaline environment such as what is found in the duodenum of the small intestine. Pepsin functions in the acidic environment of the stomach.

What are the products of the reaction caused by Lipase?

The products of the reaction caused by lipase are fatty acids and glycerol. Lipase breaks down fats (triglycerides) into these smaller molecules, which can then be absorbed and used by the body for energy.
