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.
What else can I help you with?
What effect do enzymes in the intestine have on protein?
Once you digest food the enzymes in the intestine will digest the nutrients into small components. So that they could be absorbed by the intestine into the bloodstream, and throughout the body in order to be reused by the body cells.
Where are proteins absorbed?
Enzymes, Glucose and The Protein work together to enter the body then go through the small intestine and rubbing onto the villi
What parts of the body produce enzymes?
The stomach contains enzymes that break down protein.
What organs produce protein-digesting enzymes?
Small Intestine,Stomach and third one i don't know
What are the mains nutrients found in this food group?
Rice nutrients - vitamins and minerals and carbohydrates and fiber, the enzymes found are amylase other .......

Does the protein digestion begin in the stomach and is it completed in the small intestine?
Yes. The digestion of protein begins in the stomach with the enzyme pepsin and ends in the small intestine using enzymes secreted by the pancreas. Once the enzymes have broken the proteins into their amino acids, they can then be absorbed by the epithelial tissue lining the small intestine.
In what part of the body does most chemical digestion take place?
carbohydrates protein fats Actually, carbohydrates, protein, and fats are nutrients we need to be able to function. The most chemical digestion occurs in the small intestine.
Aminopeptidases are digested enzymes present in the?
These are enzymes found in the digestive system. They are produced in the pancreas and the mucous of the small intestine. Their purpose is to break down protein and piptide chains into amino acids.
What part of the body is protein digested in?
Protein digestion primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine. In the stomach, the acidic environment and enzyme pepsin begin breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. These peptides are further broken down into amino acids in the small intestine with the help of pancreatic enzymes.
What is the substance in stomach?
Protein Protein
