Which of the following enzymes digests proteins?
A
Trypsin
B
Lipase
C
Peptidases
D
Amylase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final Answer: Trypsin is the pancreatic enzyme responsible for digesting proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Trypsin is an enzyme that helps us digest protein. In the small intestine, trypsin breaks down proteins, continuing the process of digestion that began in the stomach. It may also be referred to as a proteolytic enzyme, or proteinase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protease (made in the pancreas; breaks down proteins)

Detailed explanation-4: -Trypsin or serine protease 1 is a medium size globular protein that functions as a pancreatic serine protease. This enzyme hydrolyzes bonds by cleaving peptides on the C-terminal side of the amino acid residues lysine and arginine.

Detailed explanation-5: -Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme produced in the pancreas in the precursor form of inactive trypsinogen. Trypsinogen is converted to trypsin in the duodenum by enterokinase.
