Question

How does claire’s diagnosis explain why 1 ml of liquid from her small intestine digested protein slowly but 1 mg of her pure protease digested protein normally?.

Answer 1

Clarie's appetite is not good due to which her proteolytic enzyme level is low, so the protein is digested slowly and the protein is digested normally with the pure protease.

Digestion of proteins:

Proteins are digested first in the stomach by the action of the proteolytic enzyme pepsin. Further digestion of proteins takes place in the small intestine by the action of enzyme proteases secreted from the pancreas at low pH. The proteases that digest the proteins into simpler forms are chymotrypsin and trypsin. When the digestive system is not functioning properly there will be a decreased amount of proteolytic enzymes.
