Answer 2

Digests the proteins and converts them smaller molecule is known as pepsin and it is a digestive enzyme.

Pepsin:

• Pepsin acts on the milk protein (casein) and converts it into paracasein and initiates its digestion in the stomach.
• Rennin promotes this process and hydrolyses the casein into paracasein.
• It is also present in small amount in human infants but not in adults.
• Pepsin acts on water soluble caseinogen (milk protein) to form soluble casein.
• This combines with calcium salts to form insoluble calcium.
• Digests protein into amino acids is known as trypsin and it is a pancreatic enzyme.
