Why would the pancreatic enzyme trypsin be non-functional if it was secreted in the stomach instead of the pancreas?

-Due to acidic pH of stomach.

Explanation:

Enzymes are generally made up of protein molecules and work at an optimum pH and temperature. This is because at change in pH and temperature leads to denaturation of proteins that cause change in active site of enzyme.

For trypsin, optimum pH is slightly basic as pH (7.5). So, trypsin would become non-functional at acidic pH due to denaturation and loss of active site.

Trypsin is a pancreatic enzyme that works at small intestine as pH of small intestine is slightly basic.Thus, if the trypsin was secreted in stomach instead of pancreas, it would be non-functional as stomach has acidic pH due to stomach acid.

answer: i cant find your answer. do u have another way i can answer it for you : )

explanation:

true is the
