A)Saliva B) Hcl In Stomach
C) Bile Juice D) Villi
E) Pepsin
Answers
Answer:
Pepsin Enzyme Function. Cells in the stomach secrete pepsin to help you digest the protein that you consume in food. Specialized cells in the intestine then absorb the digestion products of the protein into the bloodstream, and your cells take them up from there.
Answer:
(a) Pepsin: Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme secreted in the stomach that is involved in the breakdown of proteins.
(b) HCl: HCl provides an acidic medium for food to be digested, it stops the activity of amylase and helps activate pepsinogen by converting it into its active form pepsin.
(c) Bile: Bile helps break down fats into fatty acids and also acts as a medium for excretion of bilirubin, a by-product of the breakdown of RBC's.
(d) Saliva: It has a lubricating effect and helps in swallowing and chewing food. Saliva also contains enzymes such as salivary amylase that helps break down starch into its simpler form.
