Does protein digestion use peptidase made in the small intestine?

The protein is first broken down by PEPSIN (made in the gastric glands) in the stomach and/or TRYPSIN (made in the pancreas) in the duodenum.
The protein is now broken down into DIPEPTIDES. The dipeptides are now broken down by peptidase (made by the intestinal glands) in the small intestine.
The dipeptide is now an AMINO ACID. It is then absorbed by the capillaries in the villi of the small intestine.
Hope that helped :)

What organ digests proteins?
Stomach and small intestine Protein digestion starts in the stomach, then the small intestine completely digests it.
Where does the majority of all digestion take place?
The digestion is completed in the small intestine.
Where are digested foods absorbed?
The digestion first starts in the mouth and the food is absorbed in the small intestine, and the water and minerals go to your large intestine:)learned this in biology, last week =)
Where does most digestion occur and how?
most digestion occurs in the small intestine where all the nutrients and minerals are extracted and put ino the bloodstream. the stomach just breaks the food down so it can get into the intestine
What occues in the small intestine?
Digestion and absorption of nutrients
What organ digests proteins?
Stomach and small intestine Protein digestion starts in the stomach, then the small intestine completely digests it.
What organ digests?
Stomach and small intestine Protein digestion starts in the stomach, then the small intestine completely digests it.
What two organs does protein digestion take place?
the small intestine
Where does most protein digestion occur in humans?
Most protein digestion occurs in the stomach. However, further digestion of proteins also occurs in the small intestine.
Where does protein digestion end in the human body?
In the human body, protein digestion ends in the small intestine. Protein is required to repair cells and to help new cells grow.
Does the protein digestion begin in the stomach and is it completed in the small intestine?
Yes. The digestion of protein begins in the stomach with the enzyme pepsin and ends in the small intestine using enzymes secreted by the pancreas. Once the enzymes have broken the proteins into their amino acids, they can then be absorbed by the epithelial tissue lining the small intestine.
Which part starts protein digestion and store the meal to be digested bit by bit?
small intestine
Where in digestive system protein is absorbed?
Absorbtion of proteins occurs in the small intestine. Digestion starts in the stomach.
Digestion of proteins?
Pepsin digest protein in the acidic environment of the stomach, Pancreatic Protease digests protein in the basic environment of the small intestine.
What does small intestine do in digestion?
The small intestine is where the vast majority of digestion and absorption of food takes place.
Where does the majority of all digestion take place?
The digestion is completed in the small intestine.
Does the small intestine have mechanical or chemical digestion?
Yes, in part. Chemical digestion occurs in the mouth (saliva), stomach (gastric acid) and small intestine. The nutrients are mostly absorbed in the walls (lining) of the small intestine.
