Which of the following statements is true about protein digestion?

A
Protein digestion stas with the salivary action
B
Trypsinogen is conveed to trypsin by the action of bicarbonate in duodenum
C
Trypsin and chymotrypsin are exopeptidases
D
10%-20% protein digestion occurs by pepsin action in stomach.
High-Yield Explanation
- Saliva does not contain proteolytic enzyme; protein digestion begins in the stomach by the action of pepsin. - Trypsinogen is conveed to trypsin by the action of enterokinase in duodenum. - Trypsin and chymotrypsin are endopeptidases; carboxypeptidase and aminopeptidase are exopeptidases. - Of the total protein digestion, 10%-20% occurs by the action of pepsin.
