PRoteins are formed as polypeptides from ribosomes. The polypeptide undergoes biophysical and chemical changes to get 2D and further 3D structure. So proteins in general, are polypeptides that are folded with cetrain stable conformation.
Proteins are made up of one or more peptides.
The enzyme that digests proteins into peptides is called protease.
Peptides are transported in the blood mainly by binding to carrier proteins or circulating freely. Carrier proteins can protect peptides from being broken down and can help regulate their distribution and delivery to specific target tissues. Peptides can also be taken up by cells for further processing and utilization.
Yes.
Protein broken down to peptides in stomach. Proteases such as pepsin, trypsin catalyze the breaking down of proteins to peptides. enteropeptidases cut down these peptides to amino acids. All the proteins and enzymes are coded in Genomic DNA.
No. Peptides are strings of amino acids. These proteins (peptides) are folded and coiled into polypeptides.

Enzyme that breaks down proteins and peptides
They are made as peptides on ribosomes. Later they become other proteins incytoplasm
Proteins and peptides
Yes, pepsin is an enzyme in the stomach that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.
Pepsin helps break down proteins into smaller peptides in the stomach.
