What are the digestive juices?
Digestive juice, in the stomach, helps by secreting pepsin and Hydrocloric acid. The HCl creates a nice acidic environment for the pepsin, which requires a low pH to function.
In the small intestine, a similar process occurs. Digestive juices from the liver (bile), gall bladder, and pancreas release trypsin and buffer solutions that raise the pH to around 8.
These digestive juices make digestion possible.

What is the difference between alpha and omega oxidation of fatty acid?
The alpha oxidatin is aprocess by which certain fatty acids are broken down by removal of a single carbon from carboxylic end. In humans, alpha-oxidation is used in Peroxisomesto break down dietary Phytanic_acid, which cannot undergo Beta-oxidationdue to its β-methyl branch, into Pristanic_acidInhumans, alpha-oxidation is used in Peroxisomesto break down dietary Phytanic_acid, which cannot undergo Beta-oxidationdue to its β-methyl branch, into Pristanic_acid.
Omega oxidation is a process of Fatty_acid_metabolismin some species of animals. It is an alternative pathway to Beta_oxidationthat, instead of involving the β carbon, involves the oxidation of the http://wiki.answers.com/w/index.php?title=Ω_carbon&action=edit&redlink=1 (the carbon most distant from the Carboxyl_groupof the fatty acid). The process is normally a minor catabolic pathway for medium-chain fatty acids (10-12 carbon atoms), but becomes more important when β oxidation is defective.
