To protect the body.

Proteolytic enzymes will destroy the cells that produced them if they are produced in an active form. To protect the body's own cells these enzymes are secreted in an inactive form into the digestive tract and activated where they are needed.
Pepsinogen is an inactive form of the digestive enzyme pepsin. Almost all enzymes are proteins, and proteins are organic macromolecules.
The digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas help to break down fats, proteins and starch molecules.

In the case of protein digesting enzymes, known as endopeptidases, such as those secreted in the stomach (pespin), it is obvious. If they were secreted active they would digest the glands which secrete the enzymes themselves (gastric glands). Instead they must be secreted in an inactive form, which once in the stomach and exposed to HCl acid and other pepsin enzymes the pepsinogen activates and begins digesting protein.
ANSWERAnimals digest their food. The proteins carbohydrates and fat in food. are broken down into simple molecules.
Five digestive enzymes that are secreted by the intestinal glands are peptidases, sucrase, maltase, lactase and intestinal lipase. These enzymes are important in the process of digestion.
because stomach has very high acid... so it will just denature the proteins.
The pancreas produced many different juices, most of them are used in the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
Enzymes from the liver, pancreas and gallbladder are secreted into the small intestine to digest the food inside.
The three types of digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas are proteolytic enzymes which are responsible for the digestion of proteins, lipases, which digest fats and amylases which digest dietary carbohydrates. As well as the digestive enzymes, Insulin and Glucagon are antagonists in control of blood sugar levels an thus the levels of sugar available to the cells.
