Write one function each of the following enzymes :
1. pepsin
2. Lipase
Answers
Answer:
Pepsin is an active form of pepsinogen which is present in the stomach dissociate protein to form peptones and peptides.
Lipase is an enzyme act in duodenum on fat and dissociates it into diglycerides.
The function of pepsin:
Pepsin can hydrolyze protein into proteoses and into peptones.
The function of Lipase:
Gastric lapses are secreted in a very small amount which can create mild hydrolysis of fats into fatty acids and glycerols. Pancreative lipases breakdown fat micelles into first diglycerides and then to monoglycerides.
Answer:
PEPSIN : Cells in the stomach secrete pepsin to help you digest the protein that you consume in food. ... A small amount of lipase, called gastric lipase, is made by cells in your stomach. This enzyme specifically digests butter fat in your food.
Explanation:
lipase is an enzyme that breaks down dietary fats into smaller molecules called glycerol. A small amount of lipase called lipase is made by cells in your stomach. This enzyme specifically digests butter fat in your food.
