(2) Proteoses Dipeptide

Dear student.
The correct answer is 2. Proteoses --> Dipeptide
Enterokinase is an enzyme secreted by the mucosa of the small intestine which changes inactive trypsinogen (pancreatic enzyme) into active trypsin. Trypsin helps in protein digestion in intestine. Without enterokinase trypsin cannot be activated.
