Question

write down the digestion of proteins in the duodenum and ileum.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Digestion of proteins starts in stomach enzyme pepsin from gastric juice converts proteins into proteoses and peptones. The proteoses and peptones are acted upon by enzymes trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase present in pancreatic juice in the small intestine and converted into the dipeptides. The small intestine secretes succus entericus which contains dipeptidase that converts dipeptides into amino acids in the ileum where they are finally absorbed.

Answer 2

$Answer:–$

The chyme is gradually pushed down the duodenum by peristaltic waves which flow down the length of the digestive tract. Most of the digestion of the protein, fats and carbohydrate in the chyme is done by the enzymes in the duodenum, before the resultant mixture is passed further into the small intestine.
