What is pepsin responsible for?
1. Pepsin is the important digestive enzyme of the stomach. 2. Pepsin can essentially digest any protein in the diet. 3. Lacking sufficient pepsin, protein foods are poorly penetrated by other digestive enzymes further on and are thus poorly digested.
What is the name of a gastric protease?
Pepsin
Was there any digested BAPNA contamination the pepsin or deionized water?
Neither contaminated pepsin nor deionized water would cause the digestion of BAPNA. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins, while deionized water is unlikely to impact enzymatic activity. Any digestion of BAPNA would more likely be due to enzyme activity or other factors.
Why enzyme like pepsin only break down proteins and not other molecules?
The enzymes like pepsin break down the proteins and not the other molecules because they are themselves protein.
What food does pepsin begin to breakdown?
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.
Why pepsin is inactive in small intestine?
pepsin and all other digestive enzymes are neutralized by the small intestine
Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?
Pepsin in the stomach
Name the most important enzyme in gastric juice and explain its function?
pepsin
Where is pepsin produced What is the effect of pepsin on protein?
Pepsin is produced in the stomach. Pepsin is an enzyme that digests (hydrolyses) proteins into smaller polypeptide molecules.
Is pepsin a protein?
Yes, pepsin is a protein.
In the stomach the protein is digested by?
Protein digestion in the stomach is initiated by the enzyme pepsin, which breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. Pepsin is activated by the acidic environment of the stomach, specifically hydrochloric acid. The breakdown of proteins into peptides is essential for their absorption and utilization by the body.
What would happen if pepsin was mixed with glucose?
Pepsin is an enzyme that primarily breaks down proteins into smaller peptides in the acidic environment of the stomach. If pepsin were mixed with glucose, there would be no significant reaction, as glucose is a simple sugar and not a protein. Pepsin does not act on carbohydrates, so the glucose would remain unchanged in this mixture. Therefore, the interaction between pepsin and glucose would not produce any meaningful biochemical effect.
