Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Digestion of proteins begins in the stomach with the help of the enzyme pepsin which breaks down the peptide bonds. The partly digested food or chyme then moves into the small intestine where there are pancreatic enzymes apart from intestinal juices.
Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Digestion of protein is completed in ileum.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
