What is the enzyme called that acts upon the substrate pepsin?
The enzyme that acts upon the substrate pepsin is also called pepsin. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme produced in the stomach that helps break down proteins into smaller peptides.
In the stomach what is the acid called that breaks down the bolus?
The stomach consists of gastric gland that secrete gastric juices- HCl ,Renin and Pepsin. Pepsin acts upon proteins to convert them to peptides, smaller protein molecules. But, Hcl is needed for conversion of proteins as pepsin works best in aan acidic medium.
What are the protein hydrolyzing enzymes in the digestive tract?
pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase
Upon leaving the stomach food normally moves to where?
It moves to the small intestines where nutrients are absorbed.
What are two different ways food is digested?
Food reaches the stomach through the oesophagus after it is ingested. It enters the stomach throught the cardiac sphincter, a band of circular muscles that allow the entrance of food substances into the stomach. the food in the stomach is then acted upon by the gastric gland present in the stomach that secrete gastric juices- HCl, renin and Pepsin. Pepsin acts on the proteins present in the food to convert them into smaller molecules called peptides. This action of pepsin requires the presence of Hcl acid as pepsin works better in an acidic medium. In this way, food is broken down. Moreover, the stomach in the mean time performs peristalsis, the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of muscles. This also results in breaking down of food.
Something that is acted upon is a?
impulse
What does an objective pronouon does?
it is acted upon
When the velocity of an object changes it is acted upon what?
Force
Unless an object at rest is acted upon by a force it stays at rest due to its?
Unless an object at rest is acted upon by a force, it stays at rest due to its inertia.
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
How do you use act upon in a sentence?
I acted in the drama session
What is netwon1st law?
Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
