Detailed explanation-1: -It breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids that can be easily absorbed in the small intestine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pepsin /ˈpɛpsɪn/ is an endopeptidase that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. It is produced in the gastric chief cells of the stomach lining and is one of the main digestive enzymes in the digestive systems of humans and many other animals, where it helps digest the proteins in food.
Detailed explanation-3: -The pancreatic enzymes are comprised of9: Lipase – breaks down fats into fatty acids. Protease – breaks down proteins into amino acids. Amylase – breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars.
Detailed explanation-4: -Protease (made in the pancreas; breaks down proteins)
Detailed explanation-5: -Pepsin is secreted in the stomach by peptic cells in its inactive form-pepsinogen. Pepsinogen gets activated by the hydrochloric acid present in the stomach. Similarly, Trypsin is secreted by the pancreas in its inactive form-Trysogen.
