Question

Name the protein digesting enzymes and their site of secretion in the human alimentary canal?

Answer 1

Answer:

pepsin is protein digesting enzyme and it is secreted in stomach

Answer 2

The stomach secretes pepsin, while the pancreas secretes trypsin.

Protein digestion:

• Protein digestion occurs when you begin chewing.
• Amylase and lipase are two enzymes found in saliva.
• They mostly degrade carbs and lipids.
• When a protein source reaches your stomach, it is broken down into smaller chains of amino acids by hydrochloric acid and proteases.
• Protein mechanical digestion starts in the mouth and continues in the stomach and small intestine.
• Protein chemical digestion begins in the stomach and concludes in the small intestine.
• To generate additional proteins, the body recycles amino acids.
• Protein digestion includes first separating the complicated molecule into peptides, each of which contains a number of amino acids, and then into individual amino acids.
• Pepsins are enzymes that the stomach secretes in the presence of acid to break down proteins (proteolysis).
