BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Trypsin and pepsin are both proteins. Specifically, they are both enzymes. Enzyme catalyze biological reactions which means they make the reactions go faster. Trypsin and pepsin are both protease enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pepsin is an enzyme that acts only in an acidic medium, trypsin is an enzyme that acts in an alkaline medium. pepsin is secreted by the gastric juice, and trypsin is secreted by the pancreatic juice. Pepsin is secreted in the stomach, trypsin is secreted in the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pepsins are a family of proteolytic enzymes that initiate protein digestion in the stomach.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. Trypsin is produced by the pancreas in an inactive form called trypsinogen.

Detailed explanation-5: -For example, trypsin and pepsin are both enzymes in the digestive system which break protein chains in the food into smaller bits-either into smaller peptide chains or into individual amino acids.
