Pepsin and trypsin both are protein digesting enzymes.

Pepsin activity would decrease and at a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
Pepsin activity would decrease. At a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
Heat affect any enzyme and so pepsin. A temperature about 80 degrees can degarade most of the proteins and pepsin. At this temperature pepsin loose its structure and can not be active after that.
an enzyme found in the stomach is PEPSIN
