So you can absorb amino acids contained by protein as protein molecules are too big to absorb.
Pepsin is necessary to break down various proteins.
Proteases break down proteins.

Proteins
Proteins break down into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. During this process, amino acids from proteins are converted into glucose in the liver. This allows the body to use proteins as a source of energy when needed.
Proteins are digested in the stomach. Pepsin is the enzyme, which is responsible for breaking the peptide bond of the proteins.
because it has lots of enzymes that help to break down those large proteins into amino acids!
The enzymes like pepsin break down the proteins and not the other molecules because they are themselves protein.
Many sorts of enzymes at different parts of the system. In the mouth enzymes to break down sugars, in the stomach enzymes to break down proteins and in the small intestine enzymes to break down fats and sugars.
