Name any three enzymes secreted by the digestive system and write their functions
Answers
Answer:
1. Amylase, produced in the mouth- Amylase is a digestive enzyme that helps the body break down carbohydrates. Both the salivary glands and the pancreas produce amylase. Several different medical conditions can affect amylase levels in the blood. Doctors can also use a urine test to check a person's amylase levels.
2. Pepsin, produced in the stomach- Pepsin is an endopeptidase that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides (that is, a protease). It is produced in the stomach and is one of the main digestive enzymes in the digestive systems of humans and many other animals, where it helps digest the proteins in food.
3. Trypsin, produced in the pancreas- Trypsin is an enzyme that helps us digest protein. In the small intestine, trypsin breaks down proteins, continuing the process of digestion that began in the stomach. It may also be referred to as a proteolytic enzyme, or proteinase. Trypsin is produced by the pancreas in an inactive form called trypsinogen.
Answer:
Three ebzymes secreted by digestive system are: mucus, HCL, Propepsin
Explanation: mucus protects HCL from harming the lining of stomach.
HCL converts propepsin into pepsin and kills germs. Pepsin converts protiens into peptones.
