Which equation shows the enzymatic reaction in stomach?
|
|
Starch + water ____ Amylase
|
|
|
Protein + water ____ Pepsin
|
|
|
Fat+ water ____ Lipase
|
|
|
Lactose+ water ____ Lactase

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Pepsin Pearls Pepsin is a stomach enzyme that serves to digest proteins found in ingested food. Gastric chief cells secrete pepsin as an inactive zymogen called pepsinogen.
Detailed explanation-2: -The specific reaction catalyzed by pepsin is the acid hydrolysis of the peptide bond. This reaction will break down proteins into smaller units to enable the digestive process.
Detailed explanation-3: -Classically, lipases catalyse the hydrolysis of triglycerides: triglyceride + H2O
