Compare the funtion of pepsin,trysin and salivary amylase.also metion their source of production. |
| Answer» Function of salivary amylase:\tSaliva secreted into the buccal cavity contains electrolytes such as Na+, K+, Cl−, HCO3-and enzymes such as salivary amylase and lysozyme.\tThe hydrolytic action of salivary amylase hydrolyses starch into maltose.Function of pepsin:\tPepsin hydrolyses proteins into proteoses and peptones (peptides).Function of lipase:\tGastric lipases are secreted in very small amounts. They bring about mild hydrolysis of fats into fatty acids and glycerol.\tPancreatic lipases break down fat micelles into diglycerides first and then monoglycerides.\tIntestinal lipases act on monoglycerides and break them down into fatty acids and glycerol.Function of trypsin:\tTrypsin along with chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase act on partially digested proteins (proteins, peptones and proteoses) in the stomach and convert them into dipeptides. | |
