Darwinism : The Most Important Contribution of the Victorian Era. Charles Darwinâs revolutionary idea of evolution sparked dramatic debate in the scientific and, most especially, religious communities, as well as inspiring a new wave of thought in the minds of the world. There was also plenty of controversy, particularly from the many believers of creationism during the Victorian era.
1. Proteases Digestion of proteins is initiated by pepsin in the stomach, but the bulk of protein digestion is due to the pancreatic proteases. Several proteases are synthesized in the pancreas and secreted into the lumen of the small intestine.
Proteins are long chains of amino acids, and protease enzymes break them into peptides (smaller chains of amino acids molecules) and eventually into individual amino acids, which are small and easily absorbed in the small intestine. The word equation for the protease reaction is:o for example if the stomach does not produce enough HCl, the enzyme, pepsin, will not work properly, (remember the optimum pH for pepsin is 2). There are 3 main types of enzymes in our gut: Protease, Carbohydrase, and Lipase.
