What else can I help you with?
What glandular secretions involved in digestion would be most likely released initially as inactive precursors?
The pancreatic enzymes involved in digestion, such as trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, are released initially as inactive precursors. This is to prevent damage to the pancreas and other tissues before they reach the small intestine, where they are activated by other enzymes.
Does Hydrochloric acid digest protein?
No - it is the enzymes that reside in the acid which carry out the digestion of proteins. The acid a) provides a suitable pH for the proteases (protein-digesting enzymes) ,and b) kills microbes on our food.
The protein compounds which enable chemical digestion are called?
Enzymes
What cellular structures is involved in intracellular digestion Golgi apparatus ribosomes lysosomes?
The main cellular structures involved in intracellular digestion are lysosomes and the Golgi apparatus. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down complex molecules, while the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages these enzymes for transport to the lysosomes. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis and do not directly participate in intracellular digestion.
Why must protein-digesting enzymes be stored in the inactive form?
All the digestive enzymes are made of protein, yet some of them are protein-digesting enzymes. If they were all dumped into the same "pot" the protein digesting enzymes would quickly destroy the other enzymes, and the whole process would grind to a halt. The body must separate protein digestion from other processes.
What helps with the protein digestion?
Protein digestion is aided by enzymes such as pepsin in the stomach and trypsin in the small intestine. These enzymes help break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, which can then be absorbed by the body. Adequate stomach acid levels and chewing food thoroughly also support protein digestion.
What is Digestion of carbohydrate protein and fat?
A fat is usually processed by bile and other enzymes in the duodenum
What assists the metabolization of protein?
Enzymes in the body help to metabolize protein. The process occurs during digestion and as the food flows through the intestines.
What are the enzymes that digest your food?
amylase = starch, digestion starts in the mouth, pepsin = protein, starts in the stomachlysosomes.
Enzyme that breaks down Protein?
The general name for these enzymes is proteases
What is the end product of the digestion of protein?
Protein molecules are digested by protease enzymes into one of 20 individual amino acids.
What essential protein is involved inthe breaking and linking of monomers?
A very critical protein in biology are the ones involved in DNA replication. Polymerases are enzymes, which are proteins that faciliate reactions. Polymerases specifically link ribonucleic acid (as conjugate bases) into DNA and RNA to propagate life.
