Enzymes, in general, are the molecules that enable and accelerate metabolic reactions. In the intestines, this means quickly breaking down nutrients and making them easier to absorb.

What effect do enzymes in the intestine have on protein?

No. Enzymes are specific to their substrates.


Which procedure would have the least effect on the rate of protein digestion?

Consuming protein with carbohydrates or fats slows down the rate of protein digestion because they require different enzymes to break down in the stomach. Eating protein-rich foods alone, without carbohydrates or fats, would have the least effect on the rate of protein digestion.

What effect on enzymes in the intestine have on nutrients such as protein?

Enzymes are catalysts. They speed up the digestion of large molecules such as proteins. Digestion is the reaction of these large molecules with water, and it results in their conversion to small, soluble molecules which can be absorbed through the intestine walls. Proteins are converted to amino acids, starch to glucose, and fats to fatty acids and glycerol. Each type of food molecule needs a different enzyme.

Can sperm be a laxative?

By Nature of it's design : no. The nature of intercourse which would lead you to suspect this effect is actually caused by trauma created by the activity of intercourse to the intestines ( barometric instability ) and thus the protein product would be compelled to exit the intestines being as it was the first in line at the point of that exit.
