Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Trypsin acts as a catalyst for peptide bond hydrolysis, which breaks down proteins into many smaller peptides. The peptides are then further hydrolyzed into amino acids by other digestive enzymes, from which they can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the small intestinal mucosa.
Detailed explanation-2: -Its function is to break down proteins into smaller peptides in the duodenum of the small intestine. It helps in digesting dietary protein by breaking the chain of amino acids. It also activates the other zymogens or proenzymes present in pancreatic juice.
