What is the function of Pepsinogens?
pepsinogens when pumped into the stomach and exposed to an acid environment form pepsin. pepsin is a protease breaking proteins down into amino acids.
What is the source of pepsin?
Pepsin is an enzyme which is secreted by Zymogen cells of the stomach. First it is secreted in an inactive form called Pepsinogen. After that Hydrochloric acid (HCl) activates it into pepsin. FUNCTION:Its function is to hydrolyse the proteins to yield peptide.

Compare the optimum pH levels for trypsin and pepsin. how is the optimal pH level of pepsin relevant to it's particular location in the body?
pepsin is found in the stomach and the pH there is 2 while trypsin is found in the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum) and the pH there is 8-9. Thus, the optimum pH levels for pepsin and trypsin are 2 and 8-9 respectively.
