Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -It is an enzyme that is secreted by the pancreas as the proenzyme trypsinogen. It is activated by enterokinase present in the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The enterokinase enzyme converts it to active trypsin once it reaches the small intestine. Trypsin works in an alkaline environment, and the presence of a protective mucus layer on the gut lining prevents it from causing any damage. The lining of your mouth, stomach, or intestine will not be digested by enzymes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pepsin is secreted in the stomach, trypsin is secreted in the small intestine.
