What else can I help you with?
The main chemical of the stomach is to begin the digestion of?
to begin the digestion of proteins
Is salivary amylase mechanical or chemical digestion?
no, amylase is for carbohydrates. For proteins it's protease :)
In humans chemical digestion is accomplished by enzyme action that begins in the mouth and end in the?
Digestion ends in the large intestine.
Compare mechanical digestion to chemical digestion?
mechanical digestion - chewing, mixing, churning chemical digestion - breakdown of fat, carbohydrate and proteins by specific enzymes (lipases, amylases, and proteinases respectively)
The main chemical activity of the stomach is to begin the digestion of proteins?
true
Is pepsin chemical or mechanical digestion?
Pepsin is an enzyme that plays a role in chemical digestion. It breaks down proteins into smaller peptides in the stomach.
What is the action of breaking down food into smaller pieces?
Mechanical digestion, which is accomplished by chewing, and the phsyical movements of the stomach. More specifically, chemical digestion which is accomplished by the action of acids in the stomach and digestive enzymes to break larger, more complex carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins into smaller molecules so they may be more readily absorbed abd used by the body.
Where does chemical digestion begin and what food group does it break down?
mouth, proteins, lipides...
Chemical digestion is possible because of certain kinds of proteins called what?
The answer would be "Enzymes".The key digesting enzymes include lipases (for lipids), proteases (for proteins). Other enzymes important is amylases, which digest certain types of sugars.
What enzyme completes the digestion of proteins?
Trypsin completes the digestion of proteins. Pepsin in the stomach starts the digestion of proteins.
The largest amount of chemical digestion occurs in your what?
Most chemical digestion takes place in the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
Where in humans does most chemical digestion occurs?
Most chemical digestion in humans occurs in the small intestine. Enzymes produced by the pancreas, liver, and small intestine work to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
