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.

Aquaporins are proteins that control the passage of water molecules across a cell membrane. The protein forms a pore, or opening
timofeeve [1]

The two different molecules of aquaporin will have different sequences of amino acids

Explanation:

Aquaporins are an integral type of membrane proteins. They act as water channels and their function is to transport water and other solute materials across cells membranes and thereby control and regulate the water content of the cells.

They are formed by clustering of four water channel monomers forming a tetramer.

Each aquaporin is made up of a specific linear sequence of amino acids and variations in the sequence leads to formation of different aquaporins.

There are more than 10 types of aquaporins are known. The sizes of the aquaporins differ according to their pore diameter of each type and this difference leads to the selective permeability of water across cell membranes.
