Question

How are protiens in your food digested?

Answer 1

These enzymes work on the food peptides, systematically breaking them down into even smaller peptides and then snipping off the amino acids one by one. At this point, the absorptive cells of your small intestine carry the single amino acids to yourbloodstream and then on to the cells throughout your body.

Answer 2

Pepsin is the active protein digesting enzyme of the stomach. Pepsin acts on protein molecules.
