AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteolytic enzymes (proteases) are enzymes that break down protein. These enzymes are made by animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. Proteolytic enzymes break down proteins in the body or on the skin. This might help with digestion or with the breakdown of proteins involved in swelling and pain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, enzymes that break down proteins in the food are pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, dipeptidase, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein digestion begins when you first start chewing. There are two enzymes in your saliva called amylase and lipase. They mostly break down carbohydrates and fats. Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids.
