Difference between Digestive enzyme and Zymogen

Digestive enzyme vs. Zymogen

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. A zymogen, also called a proenzyme, is an inactive precursor of an enzyme.

Similarities between Digestive enzyme and Zymogen

Digestive enzyme and Zymogen have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amino acid, Cell (biology), Chief cell, Chymotrypsinogen, Enzyme, Hydrochloric acid, Hydrolysis, Pancreas, Pepsin, Peptide, Protein, Trypsinogen.

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.

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

Chief cell

In human anatomy, there are three types of chief cells, the gastric chief cell, the parathyroid chief cell, and the type 1 chief cells found in the carotid body.

Peptide

Peptides (from Gr.: πεπτός, peptós "digested"; derived from πέσσειν, péssein "to digest") are short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds.
