Why does the enzyme trypsin get deactivated when introduced in the gastric juice of the stomach?
svetoff [14.1K]
In my Biology Honors Class, they taught about gastric juice, or also known as    (p H) which is formed by stomach glands, is very acidic and can seriously mess up enzyme trypsin functions. After all, enzymes are a type of catalyst that help break down food, which means that enzymes are a sort of digestive acid as well. Hope this helps!

ankoles [38]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:  a. beta-D-fructofuranose b. amylose c. uronic acid d. N- acetylglucosamine. The correct answers are c and d.

Explanation:

Glycosaminoglycans are very long, unbranched polysaccharides, made up of repeating units of disaccharides. One of the disaccharides is always an amino sugar, which can be N- acetylglucosamine. The other is uronic acid (it can be iduronic acid or glucuronic acid and is often sulfated at position 2). The amino sugar is usually sulfated and the rest of the sugars have carboxyl groups, which give the structure a negative charge, which attracts a large amount of cations such as sodium. Glycosaminoglycans are often covalently bound to proteins to form proteoglycans. Hyaluronic acid is the only glycosaminoglycan that does not form protein bonds and does not have sulfate groups in its structure.
