what is the function of these enzymes ? salivary amaylase,pepsin, trypsin,lypase ( present in small intestine) |
|
Answer» tion:Function of salivary amylase:Saliva secreted into the buccal cavity CONTAINS electrolytes such as Na+, K+, Cl−, HCO3-and enzymes such as salivary amylase and lysozyme.The hydrolytic action of salivary amylase hydrolyses starch into maltose.Function of pepsin:Pepsin hydrolyses proteins into proteoses and peptones (peptides).Function of lipase:GASTRIC lipases are secreted in very small amounts. They bring about mild hydrolysis of fats into fatty acids and glycerol.Pancreatic lipases break down fat micelles into diglycerides first and then MONOGLYCERIDES.Intestinal lipases act on monoglycerides and break them down into fatty acids and glycerol.Function of trypsin:Trypsin along with chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase act on partially digested proteins (proteins, peptones and proteoses) in the stomach and convert them into dipeptides. |
