Detailed explanation-1: -Pepsin is a stomach enzyme that serves to digest proteins found in ingested food. Gastric chief cells secrete pepsin as an inactive zymogen called pepsinogen. Parietal cells within the stomach lining secrete hydrochloric acid that lowers the pH of the stomach. A low pH (1.5 to 2) activates pepsin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Protease (made in the pancreas; breaks down proteins)
Detailed explanation-3: -Trypsin is a digestive enzyme that’s critical for good health. It helps break down dietary protein into amino acids, which are essential for muscle…
Detailed explanation-4: -Pepsin works in the highly acidic conditions of the stomach. It has an optimum pH of about 1.5. On the other hand, trypsin works in the small intestine, parts of which have a pH of around 7.5. Trypsin’s optimum pH is about 8.
