If pepsin is isolated and placed in a pH 7 solution, it would likely become inactive or exhibit significantly reduced activity. Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme that is most active in the acidic environment of the stomach, typically around pH 1.5 to 2.5. At a neutral pH of 7, the enzyme's structure may change, leading to a loss of its ability to catalyze the breakdown of proteins efficiently.
What else can I help you with?
What would most likely happen to pepsin that traveled with the food from the stomach to the small intestines?
the pepsin would become innactive
What would most likely happen to pepsin enzyme that traveled with the food from the stomach to the small intestines?
the pepsin would become innactive
What would happen when the enzyme pepsin that normally acts on protein in the stomach is pushed into the small intestine that has a relatively high pH?
the pepsin would become innactive
What would happen to the pepsin if you take an antacid auch as alka seltzer?
Antacids have powerful adsorbent and precipitating effect on pepsin, which can lead to its reduction
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.
What would happen if you didn't have pepsin?
you cant poop. then your stomach will hurt
What effect would decreased incubation temperatures have on pepsin?
Pepsin activity would decrease and at a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
What effect would decrease incubation temperature have on pepsin activity?
Pepsin activity would decrease and at a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
What is the result when albumin solution pepsin and HCl are mixed with biuret reagent?
When albumin solution, pepsin, and HCl are mixed with biuret reagent, the resulting solution would likely turn purple due to the presence of proteins in the albumin solution. The biuret reagent reacts with peptide bonds in proteins, forming a purple complex. Pepsin is a protease enzyme that can break down proteins, potentially affecting the intensity of the purple color.
What would happen if you used drugs?
You can get hooked and get really addicted. You will start to isolate yourself from everybody else.
Why would you predict the pepsin would not digest starch?
Because Pepsin is the active form of a protein manufactured in the stomach.
What will happen if body just makes fully active form of enzymes?
Consider the stomach. The inactive form of the digestive enzyme pepsin is called pepsinogin. ( spelling may be wrong ) It takes the release of hydrochloric acid in the stomach to activate this pre-enzyme into pepsin, the active form. You would be digesting your own stomach tissue if pepsin was always active.
