Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together by peptides, which are broken by proteases. From your stomach, these smaller chains of amino acids move into your small intestine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Proteins after digestion are converted into amino acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the small intestine the food (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) is hydrolyzed by hydrolytic enzymes and absorbed through the large surface area of the ileum and jejunum.
