Digestive enzymes help to break down food in its simplest form. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme which leads to the degradation of proteins in the stomach. It is produced as pepsinogen and converted to active pepsin in the stomach by the removal of several amino acids.

<h3>What is pepsin?</h3>

Pepsin is a digestive enzyme which is present mainly in the gastric juice in stomach and helps to breakdown protein into peptides.

This pepsin is present in the stomach in the form of inactive pepsinogen. This pepsinogen gets active in the stomach by the action of hydrochloric acid.

Pepsinogen gets active and forms pepsin.

Thus, it can be concluded that the digestive enzyme pepsin degrades protein in stomach and is synthesized as pepsinogen and gets converted into active pepsin in stomach by removal of several amino acids.

nikklg [1K]
I found the attached image on the internet and it really helps complete this exercise.

First question:
In the presence of an enzyme, the course of the reaction is shown by the red curve. The necessary energy to make a reaction occur is less when there is an enzyme to help the reaction happen. Enzymes work as catalysts that act over substrates converting them into different molecules in a much accelerated way then it would happen without the enzyme's help, if it would happen at all.

Second question:
The activation energy is represented by line B. The activation energy is the energy needed to be available for a reaction to happen. If we compare it with line A, which represents the activation energy necessary for a reaction without an enzyme, we can see how much less energy is necessary to dispend when an enzyme is part of the reaction. Line C represents the energy resultant from the reaction.
