Question

What occurs during the digestion of protein?
A) Specific hormones breakdown proteins into simple sugars
B) Specific enzymes breakdown proteins into simple sugars
C) Specific hormones breakdown proteins into complex starches
D) Specific enzymes breakdown proteins into amino acids

Answer 1

Protein digestion occurs in the stomach and the duodenum through the action of three main enzymes: pepsin, secreted by the stomach, and trypsin and chymotrypsin, secreted by the pancreas. During carbohydrate digestion the bonds between glucose molecules are broken by salivary and pancreatic amylase.
