Question

Flowchart of enzymatic digestion in the human digestive system

Answer 1

Answer:

Examples of digestive enzymes are:

1. Amylase, produced in the mouth. It helps break down large starch molecules into smaller sugar molecules.
2. Pepsin, produced in the stomach. ...
3. Trypsin, produced in the pancreas. ...
4. Pancreatic lipase, produced in the pancreas. ...
5. Deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease, produced in the pancreas.

Answer 2

Answer:-

Digestion with the help of enzymes (Enzymatic digestion) in the human digestion system is the main feature of digestion in humans.

The flowchart or the process goes on like this:-

• The salivary amylase in the saliva produced by salivary glands helps in converting starch to sugar.
• In the stomach, the gastric glands produce hydrochloric acid, mucus and enzyme pepsin for the digestion of the food. The hydrochloric acid makes the medium acidic and helps in the action of pepsin. The pepsin breaks down the proteins. The mucus protect the wall of the stomach from the action of acids.
• In the duodenum or the initial part of the small intestine, bile from the liver and the pancreatic juice produced by the pancreas, are mixed with the food. The bile breaks the fats into smaller globules and moreover helps in creating the acidic medium of the food to alkaline for the action of pancreatic juice. The pancreatic juice contains lipase and trypsin. The lipase helps in breaking down of fats and trypsin breaks down proteins.
• Further in the small intestine, the intestinal juice produced by the walls of small intestine is mixed with the food. These juices helps in the conversion of carbohydrates into glucose, fats into fatty acids and glycerol and proteins into amino acids.

This is all the enzymatic digestion that place in the human digestive system with the help of different enzymes and juices produced by different glands.
