what are the step involved in the direction of protein in a given food sample answer in 50 to 100 words
Dear student,
The digestion of proteins begins in the stomach and is completed in the small intestine. The enzymes that act on proteins are known as proteases.
Digestion in the stomach
The acidic medium converts inactive pepsinogen into active pepsin.
Proteins Proteases + Peptides
Digestion in the small intestine:
The food is acted upon by three enzymes
Action of pancreatic juice
Trypsinogen Trypsin + Inactive peptide
The activated trypsin then activates the other enzymes of pancreatic juice.
Chymotrypsinogen Chymotrypsin
Proteins Peptides
Peptides Smaller peptide chain + Amino acids
Action of bile juice
Bile juice breaks down large, fat globules into smaller globules so that pancreatic enzymes can easily act on them.
Action of intestinal juice
Intestinal juice contains a variety of enzymes.
Eg
The proteases hydrolyse peptides into dipeptides and finally into amino acids.
Dipeptides Amino acids
