pepsin is an enzyme in the stomach specific to proteins sucrose is a di-sacaride ie sugar not a protein common this is easy stuff think about it each substrate has a specific enzyme this is extremely basic stuff don't consider a career in biochemistry buddy

The part of alimentary canal where protein is digested?

Protein is digested both in the stomach (by pepsin and trypsin) and in the small intestine.


What type of nutrient is digested by pepsin in the stomach?

Pepsin in important for the digestion of protein. The enzyme is created in the stomach and breaks down the collagen protein.


What is pepsin responsible for?

1. Pepsin is the important digestive enzyme of the stomach. 2. Pepsin can essentially digest any protein in the diet. 3. Lacking sufficient pepsin, protein foods are poorly penetrated by other digestive enzymes further on and are thus poorly digested.


What class of food does the enzyme secreted by stomach act on?

Proteins are the nutrients that are digested by the enzyme pepsin, sectreted by the stomach.


What happens to egg white pepsin and hydrochloric acid after 6 hours?

After 6 hours, egg white will be partially digested by pepsin, which breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. The hydrochloric acid will continue to provide the acidic environment necessary for pepsin to function optimally. Overall, there will be a decrease in the amount of egg white and changes in its composition due to digestion.


How does proteins get digested in human body?

Pepsin starts digestion of proteins by breaking down the many of polypeptides into shorter peptides.


In the stomach the protein is digested by?

Protein digestion in the stomach is initiated by the enzyme pepsin, which breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. Pepsin is activated by the acidic environment of the stomach, specifically hydrochloric acid. The breakdown of proteins into peptides is essential for their absorption and utilization by the body.


What enzyme begins the breakdown of protein?

The enzyme pepsin, found in the stomach, is responsible for beginning the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides. It works in an acidic environment to break down proteins into smaller peptides that can be further digested and absorbed by the body.


What happens to pepsin strucutrally as it leaves the stomach?

Pepsin helps in digestion of proteins, hydrochloric acid and mucus. HCl helps in killing bacteria present in food. When food leaves stomach it is partially digested soupy liquid called as chyme.


What structure prduces the enzyme pepsin?

Pepsinogen is secreted by cells, witch is inactive, else cells made up of proteins would have got digested themselves. This inactive pepsinogen get converted to active pepsin after coming in contact with acid in stomach.
