What else can I help you with?
What chemical (s) can be found in your stomach to digest proteins?
Three enzymes are important: pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin.
What digestive digests proteins?
The enzyme responsible for digesting proteins is called pepsin. It is produced in the stomach and helps break down proteins into smaller peptides for better absorption in the small intestine.
Which enzyme convert protein into amino acids?
Pepsin (excreted by glands in the stomach) digest proteins into polypeptides in the stomach, whereas the trypsin (excreted by pancreas in the pancreatic juice) digest proteins into polypeptides in the small intestine. Then the erepsin (excreted by pancreas in the pancreatic juice) further digest them into amino acids.
Can pepsin and trypsin function in the same environment-?
no they can not because they at completely different pH levels.
Name the two enzymes that take part in digestion of proteins in your body?
The two enzymes that take part in the digestion of proteins in the body are pepsin, which is produced in the stomach, and trypsin, which is produced in the pancreas.
Are pepsin and trypsin classified as sugars?
pepsin and trypsin are classified as proteins
Pepsin and trypsin are classified as what?
They are classified as proteins
What enzyme completes the digestion of proteins?
Trypsin completes the digestion of proteins. Pepsin in the stomach starts the digestion of proteins.
Where are proteins broken down?
Protein broken down to peptides in stomach. Proteases such as pepsin, trypsin catalyze the breaking down of proteins to peptides. enteropeptidases cut down these peptides to amino acids. All the proteins and enzymes are coded in Genomic DNA.
What are the similarities of pepsin and trypsin?
Pepsin and trypsin both are protein digesting enzymes.
What chemical (s) can be found in your stomach to digest proteins?
Three enzymes are important: pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin.
Name of the protein that can destroy protein?
An enzyme called a protease would digest proteins. Examples would be pepsin and trypsin.
What digestive digests proteins?
The enzyme responsible for digesting proteins is called pepsin. It is produced in the stomach and helps break down proteins into smaller peptides for better absorption in the small intestine.
What enzymes perform major proteolytic activities in the digestive tract?
The major proteolytic enzymes in the digestive tract are pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase. Pepsin is mainly found in the stomach, while trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase are produced in the pancreas and released into the small intestine to further break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids for absorption.
Compare the optimum pH levels for trypsin and pepsin. how is the optimal pH level of pepsin relevant to it's particular location in the body?
pepsin is found in the stomach and the pH there is 2 while trypsin is found in the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum) and the pH there is 8-9. Thus, the optimum pH levels for pepsin and trypsin are 2 and 8-9 respectively.
Which enzyme breaks down protein?
Pepsin is the enzyme that breaks proteins into peptides.
Which enzyme convert protein into amino acids?
Pepsin (excreted by glands in the stomach) digest proteins into polypeptides in the stomach, whereas the trypsin (excreted by pancreas in the pancreatic juice) digest proteins into polypeptides in the small intestine. Then the erepsin (excreted by pancreas in the pancreatic juice) further digest them into amino acids.
