Can pepsin and trypsin function in the same environment-?

no they can not because they at completely different pH levels.


Compare the optimum pH levels for trypsin and pepsin. how is the optimal pH level of pepsin relevant to it's particular location in the body?

pepsin is found in the stomach and the pH there is 2 while trypsin is found in the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum) and the pH there is 8-9. Thus, the optimum pH levels for pepsin and trypsin are 2 and 8-9 respectively.

What enzymes perform major proteolytic activities in the digestive tract?

The major proteolytic enzymes in the digestive tract are pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase. Pepsin is mainly found in the stomach, while trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase are produced in the pancreas and released into the small intestine to further break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids for absorption.


How does trypsin gets its name?

Trypsin is one of the 3 proteolytic digestive enzymes produced in the pancreas as Trypsinogen and is activated in the Duodenum. Trypsin derives its name from the Greek word tryein- wear down + (english) pepsin -akin to.

Does pepsin work on protein?

Yes this enzyme Pepsin serves a link to amino acids and collaborate to break down dietary protein into their components. Other enzymes are Trypsin and Chymotrypsin.


What enzyme completes the digestion of proteins?
