Question

Which statement BEST describes what occurs to a molecule of the enzyme trypsin AFTER it binds to a molecule of protein?

Answer 1

trypins breaks down the protien into simple amino acids which are absorbed by the gut wall

Answer 2

Trypsin is the activate form of Trypsinogen. Trypsin basically works on more than one substrates; when it binds with one molecule of protein molecule it produced peptides(by breaking action) but peptides are not the phase in what protein is absorbed in GIT.

Peptides are further broken down to amino acids by Carboxy-peptidases and then amino acids are absorbed through GI membrane.

This Carboxy-peptidase is activated by the action of Trypsin on Procarboxy-peptidase(inactive form).
