The acidic medium of gastric juice along with an enzyme Pepsin breaks the proteins down into smaller parts known as ?

  • A.Peptose
  • B.Amino acids
  • C.Peptones
  • D.Peptides

Answer: C

Pepsin in the acid of the stomach breaks proteins into peptones.

The acid first denatures the protein and activates pepsinogen into pepsin; pepsin then cuts the long chains into shorter fragments called proteoses and peptones. They are broken down to amino acids later, in the small intestine.
