What else can I help you with?
What enzyme contained in gastric juice?
Protease (pepsin) plus hydrochloric acid
What is gastric juice made of?
gastric juice is made of · A protease called pepsin. · Dilute HCl which activates the pepsin and provides the correct pH for it to work. Also kills bacteria. · Mucus - which protects the wall of the stomach from self digestion and acid damage. = Gastic Acid.
Is their any juice's in stomach?
yes...the gastric juice made of HCl,renin,pepsin and water...
Name the most important enzyme in gastric juice and explain its function?
pepsin
What is the most important enzyme in gastric juice?
Pepsin is the most important enzyme in gastric juice. It begins the digestion of nearly all types of dietary protein into polypeptides. (Originates from the inactive form pepsinogen)
Do animals have pepsin?
Pepsin is the powerful enzyme in gastric juice that digests proteins such as those in meat, eggs, seeds, or dairy products in the stomach. Since animals have stomachs, they therefore have pepsin.
The most important digestive enzyme in gastric juice is?
Pepsin - it breaks proteins into peptide fragments
What chemical in the stomach helps digest protein?
This is the gastric juice, a mixture of hydrochloric acid and pepsin.
What are the two compound of gastric juice?
The two compounds of gastric juice is the enzyme pepsin, which digests and catalyzes the breakdown of protein into peptides. The other compound is hydrochloric acid, but I'm not sure what it does.
Does gastric juice contain enzymes?
The stomach produces pepsin, mucus, HCl and intrinsic factor (which helps absorb B12). This is called gastric juice. Pepsin is a protease, or an enzyme that breaks chemical bonds in protein.Pepsin uses the carboxylic acid group on one of its amino acids to break the chemical bond between nitrogen and oxygen in the proteins found in food.
What substances are contained in the gastric juice?
It contains of hydrochloric acid and 2 enzymes, pepsin and rennin. the acidity of hydrochloric acid helps in activating pepsinogen and prorennin(the inactive form of pepsin and rennin respectively)
What is the function of pepsin in the stomach?
The gastric juice needs to be acid so that it can break down the food to go to the intestine. The muscles of the stomach wall contract vigorously so that the food is mixed with the gastric juice. Pepsinogen is made by the presence of gastric juice. This digests protein. Seeing, smelling, tasting or thinking about food starts the production of gastric juice.
