Which types of macromolecules (protein, carbohydrate, fat, or nucleic acid?) can be enzymatically digested in the oral cavity, stomach small intestine

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?

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.

Enzymes that digest dietary proteins in the stomach and intestine are synthesized as proenzymes or zymogens. Which of the following is the proenzyme form of a proteolytic enzyme of the digestive tract? elastase O carboxypeptidase chymotrypsin

Besides the pancreaticjuice in the intestine there isthe releasing of the entericjuice that contains digestiveenzymes too. What are theseenzymes and which type ofmolecule do each of theseenzymes break?

what process happens to your food after it goes through the stomach and intestine and where does it occur, and is there an equation related to this process?

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?
