What else can I help you with?
Which part of the body contains enzymes that break down protein?
The stomach contains enzymes that break down protein.
Which part of the body contains enzymes that breaks down starch into simple sugar?
Saliva (salivary glands) and the pancreas both contain the enzyme (amylase) that breaks starches down into simple sugars.
When protein is consumed the body breaks it down to smaller molecules known as?
When protein is consumed, the body breaks it down into smaller molecules called amino acids. These amino acids are then used for various functions, including building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function. The digestion process begins in the stomach and continues in the small intestine, where enzymes further break down proteins into their constituent amino acids for absorption.
What enzymes break down protein and fat?
Proteins are broken down by enzymes called proteases, such as pepsin and trypsin. Fats are broken down by enzymes called lipases, such as pancreatic lipase. These enzymes help to break down proteins and fats into smaller molecules for absorption in the body.
What breaks down myoglobin after muscle damage?
Myoglobin is broken down by enzymes called proteases, including calpains and cathepsins, after muscle damage. These enzymes break down the myoglobin protein into smaller peptides and amino acids for recycling or excretion from the body.
Which part of the body contains enzymes that break down protein?
The stomach contains enzymes that break down protein.
Where in the body is protein-cutting enzymes made?
Protein-cutting enzymes are made in the ribsomes of cells.
A body that contains enzymes that breaks down or dissolves pathogens?
This body part is likely the stomach, with its acidic environment and digestive enzymes that can break down pathogens. These enzymes help neutralize harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that may enter the body through food or drink.
What are the sites and enzymes that digest protein in the body?
The first stages of digestion for protein occur in the stomach, here the enzyme pepsin breaks down the majority of the protein into separate amino acid molecules. The next stage is in the duodenum of the small intestine.
Which part of the body contains enzymes that breaks down starch into simple sugar?
Saliva (salivary glands) and the pancreas both contain the enzyme (amylase) that breaks starches down into simple sugars.
What are 5 different jobs that a protein might do in your body?
Too broad... which protein? But in general: 1. Functions as hormones, enzymes, structural proteins, transport proteins, and antibodies. 2. Breaks down to amino acids
What breaks food down into energy that the body can then use?
enzymes
Does intestinal juice contain enzymes?
Yes. The enzymes are: - maltase which breaks down maltose to glucose; - lactase which breaks down lactose to glucose and galactose - erepsin which breaks down peptones to amino acids - lipase which breaks down fats to fatty acids and glycerol. :D
