Difference between Acid and Pepsin

Acid vs. Pepsin

An acid is a molecule or ion capable of donating a hydron (proton or hydrogen ion H+), or, alternatively, capable of forming a covalent bond with an electron pair (a Lewis acid). Pepsin is an endopeptidase that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides (that is, a protease).

Similarities between Acid and Pepsin

Acid and Pepsin have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amino acid, Digestive enzyme, Gastric acid, Hydrochloric acid, PH, Protein, Stomach.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

Digestive enzyme

Digestive enzymes are a group of enzymes that break down polymeric macromolecules into their smaller building blocks, in order to facilitate their absorption by the body.

Gastric acid

Gastric acid, gastric juice or stomach acid, is a digestive fluid formed in the stomach and is composed of hydrochloric acid (HCl), potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl).
