Pepsin and lipase are chemical compounds, not reactions.
A chemical change is also referred to as a chemical reaction. It typically involves the transformation of substances into new substances with different chemical compositions.
The balanced chemical equation for a reaction tells the story of a chemical reaction by showing the reactants that are consumed and the products that are formed. It also provides information on the stoichiometry of the reaction, including the ratios of reactants and products involved.
A chemical reaction is a process that results in the transformation of chemical substances into new substances with different properties. A chemical equation represents this reaction using chemical formulas of the reactants and products, along with their respective coefficients to balance the equation.
A catalyst doesn't undergo a chemical change during a chemical reaction.

The rate of the pepsin-catalyzed reaction at pH 8 is generally low because pepsin is most active in the acidic environment of the stomach, typically around pH 1.5 to 3.5. In contrast, lipase operates optimally at a higher pH, around pH 7 to 8, making it more effective under those conditions. Therefore, at pH 8, the lipase-catalyzed reaction would likely proceed at a significantly higher rate than the pepsin-catalyzed reaction.
Pepsin in the stomach
pepsin is used to degrade food proteins to peptides.
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.
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.
Lypase,Pepsin and Amylase are enzymes.Gastrin is a hormone.

Amylase, pepsin, and lipase are enzymes that play crucial roles in the digestion of food. Amylase, found in saliva and the pancreas, breaks down carbohydrates into simpler sugars. Pepsin, active in the acidic environment of the stomach, digests proteins into smaller peptides. Lipase, primarily produced by the pancreas, is responsible for breaking down fats into fatty acids and glycerol, facilitating their absorption in the intestines.
Lipase is NOT a specific biochemical reaction. It is an enzyme catalyzing the enzymatic breakdown (hydrolysis) of fats (lipids). triglyceride (fat) + water --> 3 fatty acids + glycerol
