What else can I help you with?
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) :)
Where in the human body is protein digested?
Protein digestion primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine of the human body.
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.
Secretions from the stomach promote the digestion of what?
If you mean what is stomach acid in chemical terms? HCL.
Where does protein digestion?
in your stomach the acids dissolve the protein and therefore ends digestion
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.
Where does the protein digestion start?
the digestion of proteins begin in the stomach.
End product of protein digestion?
End product of digestion of protein is amino acid
What is the digestion time of whey protein?
The digestion time of whey protein is typically around 1-2 hours.
What is the chemical equation for the digestion of protein?
protein ----> amino acids
What type of nutrient is digested by pepsin in the stomach?
Pepsin in important for the digestion of protein. The enzyme is created in the stomach and breaks down the collagen protein.
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.
