Which animal produces less pepsin a herbivore or carnivore why?
Carnivores produce more pepsin than herbivores because they require stronger digestive enzymes to break down protein-rich animal tissues. Pepsin is an enzyme that helps digest proteins in the stomach, and since carnivores consume diets high in protein, they have adapted to produce more of it. In contrast, herbivores primarily consume plant material, which is generally lower in protein and may require different enzymes for digestion, such as cellulase for breaking down cellulose in plant cell walls.
What would happen if pepsin was mixed with glucose?
Pepsin is an enzyme that primarily breaks down proteins into smaller peptides in the acidic environment of the stomach. If pepsin were mixed with glucose, there would be no significant reaction, as glucose is a simple sugar and not a protein. Pepsin does not act on carbohydrates, so the glucose would remain unchanged in this mixture. Therefore, the interaction between pepsin and glucose would not produce any meaningful biochemical effect.
Why can pepsin not be produced in its active form?
Pepsin degrades proteins so if it was active it would immediately begin digesting all the proteins in the cell. Therefore it is produced from a precursor known as a zymogen or proenzyme. Pepsin's proenzyme form is pepsinogen which is transformed to the activated pepsin protein.
In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?
No, pepsin is not the substrate in the experiment with BAPNA. BAPNA is the synthetic substrate used in this experiment to test the activity of the enzyme pepsin by measuring the rate of substrate cleavage. Pepsin acts on BAPNA as the enzyme, not the substrate.
What organic compound does pepsin work to catalyze?

Which cells produce pepsin which break down proteins?
enzymes
What does gastrulation produce?
Gastrugy produce pepsin and renin pepsin help to decompose protein food why renin help to decompose milk for more information send it to my mail samueljackson626@Yahoo.com
Do animals have pepsin?
Pepsin is the powerful enzyme in gastric juice that digests proteins such as those in meat, eggs, seeds, or dairy products in the stomach. Since animals have stomachs, they therefore have pepsin.
What digestive enzyme would most affected in people who are unable to produce hydrochloric acid?
pepsin
What digestive enzyme would be most affected in people who unable to produce hydrochloric acid?
Pepsin
Why does pepsin not remain active in the duodenum?
Yes. The precursor of pepsin is called pepsinogen; it is produced by stomach cells and then activated by the HCl in the stomach. Pepsin works best at very low pH.... e.g. acid conditions of the stomach. The small intestine has glands that produce neutralize the acid. Pepsin denatures at pH's of 5,0 or higher..... so effectively it is neutralized when the chyme enters the small intestine.
If pepsin and trypsin had to function together what pH would produce the highest activity?
It will function at about around the pH of 2.5.
What food does pepsin begin to breakdown?
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.

The stomach and small intestine produce different enzymes is that the gene that codes for pepsin is?
expressed in the stomach but not expressed in the small intestine
Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?
Pepsin in the stomach
