Why would you predict the pepsin would not digest starch?

Because Pepsin is the active form of a protein manufactured in the stomach.


What will happen if body just makes fully active form of enzymes?

Consider the stomach. The inactive form of the digestive enzyme pepsin is called pepsinogin. ( spelling may be wrong ) It takes the release of hydrochloric acid in the stomach to activate this pre-enzyme into pepsin, the active form. You would be digesting your own stomach tissue if pepsin was always active.


Are all the ingreidents in alka seltzer?

If it seems to work as it should I would say that all the ingredients are in alka seltzer.


What effect would decreased incubation temperature have on pepsin activity and why?

Decreased incubation temperature would likely decrease pepsin activity because enzymes generally have optimal temperature ranges for activity, and lower temperatures can slow down enzyme reactions. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that functions optimally at around body temperature (37°C), so decreasing the temperature may reduce its efficiency in breaking down proteins.
