- C. Trypsin
- D. Chymotrypsin
Explanation
The action of proteases gives amino acids. Proteases are a group of enzymes that break down proteins into smaller molecules, including amino acids. Proteases are found in all living cells and are involved in a variety of processes, including digestion, immunity, and cell signaling. Erepsin is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes produced by the pancreas and found in the small intestine. It is responsible for the final stages of protein digestion, breaking down peptides into amino acids.
