Lypase,Pepsin and Amylase are enzymes.Gastrin is a hormone.
pepsin
Foods are digested differently for certain people. Typically, pepsin from the stomach is used to digest proteins, and amylase from the liver is used to digest carbohydrates.
Pancreatic amylase Lipase Pepsin Salivary amylase Maltase Rennin (younger version of pepsin mostly found in babies)
Lipase and amylase require an alkaline environment such as what is found in the duodenum of the small intestine. Pepsin functions in the acidic environment of the stomach.
amylase lactase pepsin
HCl activates pepsinogen to form pepsin, which is the active form of the enzyme pepsin necessary for protein digestion in the stomach. However, HCl does not directly affect salivary amylase. Salivary amylase works optimally at a neutral pH in the mouth before food reaches the stomach, where it begins the digestion of starch into smaller sugars before being inactivated by stomach acid.
amylase = starch, digestion starts in the mouth, pepsin = protein, starts in the stomachlysosomes.
No, amylase does not digest protein in the human digestive system. Amylase is an enzyme that specifically breaks down carbohydrates into simpler sugars. Proteins are broken down by other enzymes such as pepsin and trypsin.
Pepsin is produced by stomach cells in its inactive form pepsinogen, Pepsinogen is then activated by the stomach acid into its active form, pepsin. Pepsin breaks down the protein in the food into smaller particles.
Amylase- digests starches Cellulase- digests fibers Lactase- digests dairy products Lipases- digests fats Maltase- digests starch & grains Proteases- digests proteins Sucrase- digests sugars
amylase helps you digest carbohydrates into simple sugar so that our cells can use them for energy pepsin is used to digest protein and the are absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine pepsin is made out of hydro chlorine acid and pepsi
