What else can I help you with?
During digestion the pH in the stomach is 2 What does this indicate about the optimum pH of pepsin?
Pepsin is therefore acidic since the pH in the stomach is 2
Does the pH of the media change during sterilization why?
The pH is dependent on the temperature.
What is the optimum pH for carbohydrate digestion?
carbohydrate digesting enzymes have an optimum pH near neutrality so is for carbohydrate digestion.
What is the optimal pH level of the stomach for proper digestion?
The optimal pH level of the stomach for proper digestion is around 1.5 to 3.5.
Does the pH of the medium change during sterilization?
The pH of the medium typically does not change during sterilization. However, extreme conditions during certain sterilization methods, such as autoclaving, could potentially lead to a slight alteration in pH due to the breakdown of compounds present in the medium.
What is the pH of your stomachs and why?
The pH in the stomach is approx. 2; this help the food digestion.
Which enzyme shows the greatest change in its rate of action with the least change in pH?
The enzyme pepsin shows the greatest change in its rate of action with the least change in pH. Pepsin works optimally at a highly acidic pH of around 2, and even small changes in pH can significantly impact its activity.
Why does pepsin and amylase work out different PH's?
Pepsin and amylase function optimally at different pH levels due to their distinct roles in digestion and the environments in which they operate. Pepsin, which breaks down proteins, is activated in the highly acidic environment of the stomach (pH 1.5 to 3.5). In contrast, amylase, responsible for carbohydrate digestion, works best in the more neutral pH range of the mouth and small intestine (around pH 6.7 to 7.0). This difference in optimal pH reflects the unique biochemical environments and substrates each enzyme encounters during digestion.
What is the pH of a healthy stomach that contain some food?
Stomach pH at digestion is 2.
How does an antacid deal with chemical digestion?
Antacids affect chemical digestion by increasing the pH in the stomach.
Does pH level change during pregnancy?
Yes, more alkaline
What is the pH of the esophagus?
pH of saliva secreted in mouth is 6.35-6.85, so the pH of oesophagus will be similar normally.
