What else can I help you with?
What happen when enzymes from the stomach enters the small intestine?
food will be absorbed
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
Why does pepsin not remain active in the duodenum?
Yes. The precursor of pepsin is called pepsinogen; it is produced by stomach cells and then activated by the HCl in the stomach. Pepsin works best at very low pH.... e.g. acid conditions of the stomach. The small intestine has glands that produce neutralize the acid. Pepsin denatures at pH's of 5,0 or higher..... so effectively it is neutralized when the chyme enters the small intestine.
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is?
The enzyme that catalyzes the digestion of peptides in the small intestine is pepsin. Pepsin is released by the mucosal lining of the stomach.
Which comes first on the grasshopper the small intestine or large intestine?
Food enters the small intestine first. It enters the duodenum in the small intestine.
Why pepsin is inactive in small intestine?
pepsin and all other digestive enzymes are neutralized by the small intestine
The stomach and small intestine produce different enzymes is that the gene that codes for pepsin is?
expressed in the stomach but not expressed in the small intestine
Where the small intestine enters the large intestine?
Yes.
Why does blood flow into the small intestine?
Small intestine is where the food enters the blood.
What might the graph of a pepsin and tryspin indicate about the relative acidity of the stomach of the small intestine?
The graph of pepsin and trypsin activity would likely show that pepsin is more active in acidic conditions, typical of the stomach, while trypsin exhibits optimal activity in a more neutral to slightly alkaline environment, characteristic of the small intestine. This difference indicates that the stomach's acidity facilitates protein digestion by pepsin, whereas trypsin operates effectively when the pH rises after chyme enters the small intestine. Consequently, the graph would highlight the contrasting pH preferences of these digestive enzymes and their respective roles in the digestive process.
After food enters the small intestine lipases proteases and amylases are secreted into the small intestine by the?
Pancreas
What Organ does the stomach enters?
small intestine
