What else can I help you with?
What does pepsin help digest in the human body?
Pepsin helps digest proteins in the human body.
What enzyme digest protein?
Pepsin
Can you digest starch?
Pepsin does not digest. It breaks down proteins into amino acids. Pepsin cannot break down starch. This is probably because the pH of starch is higher than the optimum pH of Pepsin.
Whould pepsin digest butter?
Yes.
What enzyme start to digest proteins in the stomatch?
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.
What does pepsin do in the digestive system?
It helps to digest proteins.
Does HCI digest protein?
No,a digestive enzyme known as 'Pepsin' digests proteins.But yes,HCl is an acidic medium for 'Pepsin to work.Without HCl,our body cannot digest proteins.
Why pepsin is not digested by pepsin itself?
pepsin is an enzyme in the stomach specific to proteins sucrose is a di-sacaride ie sugar not a protein common this is easy stuff think about it each substrate has a specific enzyme this is extremely basic stuff don't consider a career in biochemistry buddy
Can you digest sucrose?
yes, it is a disaccharide, or a sugar/carb
Why would you predict the pepsin would not digest starch?
Because Pepsin is the active form of a protein manufactured in the stomach.
Which enzyme will digest protein if pH is 1.6?
Pepsin is the enzyme that will digest protein at pH 1.6. It is the primary enzyme in the stomach responsible for breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. Pepsin functions optimally in the acidic environment of the stomach.
What does pepsin digest?
the pepsin help the protein to digest and breaks into polypeptides
