A Major Enzyme Involved in Protein Digestion Is

Question

A major enzyme involved in protein digestion is
A) pepsin.
B) facilitated diffusion.
C) amylase.
D) lipase.

Accepted Answer

Pepsin is a major enzyme involved in protein digestion, specifically in the stomach where it breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. Facilitated diffusion is a mechanism for transport across cell membranes and is not directly involved in digestion, amylase is an enzyme involved in the digestion of carbohydrates, and lipase is an enzyme involved in the digestion of fats.
