What else can I help you with?
Are there cells that hold digestive juices?
The cells that hold digestive juices are called the gastric chief cells. These are located in the stomach that secretes enzymes for protein breakdown.
The pancreas secretes enzymes that act upon what?
The pancreas secretes enzymes that acts upon fats, carbohydrates, and protein. For example, the enzyme lipase helps to break down fats. Other enzymes are protease and carbohydrase.
What enzymes speed up the breakdown of protein in food?
Pepsin and tripsin
What enzymes speed up the breakdown of protein in foods?
Pepsin and tripsin
What enzymes secreted from the pancreas promote digestion?
The pancreas secretes insulin which helps regulate blood glucose levels and it also secretes digestive enzymes such as glucagon that assist in breaking down fat, carbohydrate and protein.
Emzymes breakdown protein?
Certain enzymes do, the proteases (Also called peptidase) do.
What does the breakdown of protein and starch produce?
The breakdown of protein produces amino acids, which are used for various bodily functions such as building muscle and enzymes. The breakdown of starch produces glucose, which is a source of energy for the body.
What happens to food in the pancreas?
Food never enters the pancreas. The pancreas secretes enzymes into the common bile duct and these enzymes aid in the digestion of fat, and protein. The pancreas also secretes insulin into the bloodstream which helps regulate the blood sugar levels w/in the body. Without insulin the body cannot process sugars which are energy for the cells of the body.
What are Protein hydrolyzing enzymes known as?
Proteases or peptidases are the enzymes that catalyze the breakdown (hydrolysis) of proteins into shorter chains of peptides or into their constituent amino acids. Note the process of protein hydrolysis is called proteolysis.
Which structure produces enzymes that digest protein?
The structure that produces enzymes that digest protein is the pancreas. It secretes digestive enzymes, including proteases such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, into the small intestine, where they break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Additionally, the stomach also contributes to protein digestion through the secretion of pepsin, which is activated in the acidic environment.
What is the importance of the liver and the pancreas in the digestive system list the substances they produce and their function?
Hopefully this will help you The liver secretes bile which aids in the breakdown of lipids into fatty acids. The enzymes which speeds up the rate of the digestion of lipids is Lipase, and this is secreted by the pancreas. The pancreas also secretes many other enzymes including: Two protease's are trypsin and chymotrypsin. These enzymes speed up the rate in which protein is digested into amino acids. Amylase is also produced in the pancreas (As well as the salivary glands in the mouth), and amylase breaks down starch into maltose molecules
Complete the concept map by using the fallowing vocabulary terms nucleotides protein enzymes nucleic acids?
enzymes made of proteins breakdown nucleic acids to form nucleotides
