Question

The human stomach secretes an enzyme known as pepsin. This enzyme breaks down proteins into smaller chemical molecules called peptides. If pepsin was mixed in a laboratory with sugar molecules like glucose, what is the MOST LIKELY result?

Answer 1

The right answer is C.

Pepsin degrades food bolus proteins by hydrolysing peptide bonds before aromatic amino acids.

The optimum pH of action of pepsin is between 1.8 and 4.4.

It is mostly composed of aspartic acid and glutamic acid.

Answer 2

Glucose comes from Sucrose, along with Fructose. Glucose, in your case, would break down the molecular bonds of glucose into the molecular compositions of glucose.
Hope that helps.
