Question

The human stomach secretes an enzyme known as pepsin. This enzyme breaks down proteins into smaller chemical molecules called peptides. If pepsin was mixed in a laboratory with sugar molecules like glucose, what is the MOST LIKELY result?

Answer 1

The enzyme pepsinase break down protein in small part then last result in pepsinase is convert into pepsinogen

Answer 2

Pepsin is an enzyme which acts on protein molecules. It breaks down protein into smaller units such as amino acids.

If we add pepsin enzyme in a sugar solution, there will be no reaction takes place. Moreover, pepsin will convert into its inactive form which is pepsinogen. Therefore there will be no reaction takes place in the solution.
