The organs of the human digestive system other than the small intestine, that secrete protein-digesting enzymes are
Correct answer: C. Stomach and Pancreas
- A. Stomach and Liver
- B. Liver and Pancreas
- C. Stomach and Pancreas
- D. Liver and Large intestine
Explanation
The correct answer is stomach and pancreas. The stomach secretes pepsin, an enzyme that helps digest proteins, while the pancreas secretes trypsin and chymotrypsin, which also break down proteins. The liver does not secrete protein-digesting enzymes directly; instead, it produces bile which aids in the digestion of fats. The large intestine is primarily involved in water absorption and does not secrete protein-digesting enzymes.
