The enzyme present in pancreatic juice responsible for digestion of proteins is _______.

Trypsin

The correct answer is Option (1) - Trypsin

The enzyme present in pancreatic juice responsible for the digestion of proteins is Trypsin.

Trypsin:

• Trypsin is a pancreatic enzyme that plays a key role in the digestion of proteins.
• It is secreted in an inactive form called trypsinogen by the pancreas and later activated in the small intestine.
• Trypsin works in conjunction with other proteolytic enzymes to break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, facilitating their absorption in the digestive system.

The other enzymes mentioned:

• Pepsin: Pepsin is an enzyme produced in the stomach and is involved in the initial digestion of proteins. It works in the acidic environment of the stomach.
• Amylase: Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates (starches) into simpler sugars. It is present in saliva and pancreatic juice.
• Lipase," which is an enzyme that digests lipids (fats).
