Salivary amylase is an enzyme in the human body that digests carbohydrates from food. When food mixed with saliva enters the stomach, the action of salivary amylase slows dramatically. Which causes salivary amylase enzyme to stop digesting food?

What are bile acids? What is their role in digestion of lipids?

What is the process that makes the peptide bonds of proteins available to digestive enzymes?   Digestion   Denaturation   Peptidase   Hydrolyzing

What is the function of an enzyme? Name three important enzymes that are used in the digestive process in human body and describe their functions.

The pH has a crucial role in the activation (or deactivation) of enzymes, which regulate digestion and avoid autodigestion (digesting yourself instead of the food). Describe the pH variations along the digestive tract and identify the organs responsible for these changes. Which enzymes are activated and deactivated during the course of the process? How exactly does this protect our digestive system? What other protections does the digestive system implement?

Why doesn't the enzyme bromelain digest the proteins in your stomach when you eat fresh pineapple?

You got your favorite burger. The smell is so good, your mouth starts watering. You took a bite and started chewing. Then you swallowed. Trace your bolus from oral cavity to the rectum. What chemical changes happen in burger during this passage? Mention:  Organ/organs where digestion of different components of burger begins and ends  Enzymes involved in digestion of different components   Source the enzyme   End Product/s produced  Where absorption occurred?

Digestion of proteins in the acidic environment of the stomach is carried out by the enzyme pepsin. A different enzyme, called trypsin, digests proteins in the neutral environment of our small intestine. The amount of each enzyme are the same and the amount of substrate is the same between the stomach and small intestine. Explain why our bodies use two different enzymes to digest proteins in the stomach and the small intestine.

What causes heartburn? Which structure found in your stomach helps prevent heartburn from occurring? You had a slice of cheese and pepperoni Pizza for lunch. a.) What kind of macromolecules are found in the pizza ? b.) Describe the chemical digestion of the pepperoni in the pizza. Include the organs and the enzymes involved in chemical digestion.

A patient presents with a rare disorder called Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. The patient has developed tumors in the small intestine that release hormones that stimulate the stomach to synthesize and secrete large amounts of HCL. How would this disorder disrupt normal digestive enzyme functions?
