Chapter 5, Problem 5SQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The chemical basis for the name of hydrolase that is used in the
Introduction:
Digestion is breakdown of larger food particles into smaller food particles. The digestive system hydrolyzes macro molecules which can be carbohydrates, proteins and fats present in the food into their respective subunit and absorb these subunit molecules and eliminate the waste.

- Introduction to Experiment 2: Protein Digestion by Pepsin In this experiment, we will look at for evidence of protein digestion using albumin, a protein, and Biuret reagent. Biuret reagent is used to test for the presence of proteins, or more specifically, peptide bonds. When long polypeptide chains are present the solution will turn violet, and when shorter polypeptide chains are present the solution will turn a lighter pink color. What is/are the end product(s) of protein digestion? Amino acids What is the purpose of the enzyme pepsin? It helps in the digestion of proteins by breaking down the peptide bonds between amino acids into smaller peptides If protein digestion has occurred, will the solution be violet or pink (choose one)?
