The name of that structure is stomach. Your stomach starts to digest the food. So the food becomes more liquid. It uses very strong acid for this purpose. The acid is hydrochloric acid. It is wonderful to have such strong acid to be used in your body.

The stomach.


Which digestive enzyme begins chemical digestion of protein?

Protease


Protein digestion begins in the mouth by the enzyme amylase.?

No, amylase begins the conversion of starch into the disaccharide maltose although this conversion is incomplete because food is in the mouth for a relatively short period of time. protein digestion begins in the stomach.


Where does the digestion of the food begin?

Chemical digestion begins in the mouth, when our salivary amylase breaks down starch(on a-plus) the STOMACH begins digestion of protein by emulsifying food.i promise you its the right answer.


Churns food and begins protein digestion?

When pepsinogen is mixed with hydrochloric acid, it makes pepsin. Pepsin is the enzyme that begins the digestion of proteins in stomach.

The begins digestion of protein by emulsifying food?

The stomach begins digestion of protein by secreting pepsin and hydrochloric acid to break down protein molecules into peptides. Emulsification of food occurs in the small intestine through the action of bile salts, which help break down fats into smaller droplets for better absorption by enzymes.


Where digestion begin in the digestion system?

Digestion begins in the mouth. Mechanical digestion begins with the chewing of food. Chemical digestion also begins in the mouth with the enzymes been produced and used to break down the food.


Digestion does not begain until food enters the stomach?

That would be incorrect. Digestion begins in the mouth, when the saliva starts to break up carbohydrates and the teeth start grinding up the food. However, protein digestion does begin in the stomach.


Where does carbohydrate digestion begin and how does this digestion occur?

Carbohydrate digestion starts with the mastication (chewing of the mouth). There, the salivary amylase begins to break down the carbs into monosaccharides. Protein digestion begins in the stomach. Pepsin comes into play here and various enzyme proteases do as well


The digestion of what type of macromolecule begins in the stomach or abomasum in ruminants?

Protein digestion begins in the stomach or abomasum of ruminants. Pepsin, an enzyme released in the stomach, helps break down proteins into smaller peptides. Further digestion of proteins occurs in the small intestine with the help of enzymes like trypsin and chymotrypsin.
