Protein digestion in the stomach results primarily from secretions released by the gastric glands. The enzyme that is secreted is called pepsinogen.

Why enzyme pepsin works only in the stomach?

Protein digestion occurs in stomach only because it is safe for the body, as stomach has mucous secretions which prevents self digestion of stomach muscles by PEPSIN (enzyme for protein digestion) :)

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 protein digestion occur in the duodenum or ileum?

Protein digestion primarily occurs in the duodenum, where enzymes like pepsin and trypsin break down proteins into smaller peptides. The final stages of protein digestion, where peptides are further broken down into amino acids, occur mainly in the small intestine, including the ileum.

What is starch and protein broken into?

Starch is broken down into simple sugars, primarily glucose, through the process of digestion and enzymatic action by amylase. Protein is broken down into amino acids through the action of proteases during digestion. These smaller molecules can then be absorbed by the body and used for energy, growth, and repair.
