Answer :

Answer:

hello

Explanation:

Chemical digestion of proteins begins in the stomach, as a result of pepsin activity, and is completed in the small intestine by enzymes from the intestinal mucosa and the pancreas.

In the stomach, the chemical digestion of proteins begins with the activity of the enzyme pepsin, which breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. This process is facilitated by the acidic environment of the stomach. While the pancreas does produce enzymes involved in protein digestion, they primarily act in the small intestine, not in the stomach.
