Digestive enzymes help to break down food in its simplest form. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme which leads to the degradation of proteins in the stomach. It is produced as pepsinogen and converted to active pepsin in the stomach by the removal of several amino acids.

<h3>What is pepsin?</h3>

Pepsin is a digestive enzyme which is present mainly in the gastric juice in stomach and helps to breakdown protein into peptides.

This pepsin is present in the stomach in the form of inactive pepsinogen. This pepsinogen gets active in the stomach by the action of hydrochloric acid.

Pepsinogen gets active and forms pepsin.

Thus, it can be concluded that the digestive enzyme pepsin degrades protein in stomach and is synthesized as pepsinogen and gets converted into active pepsin in stomach by removal of several amino acids.

<span>c. numbers of neutrons.</span><span>

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and same number of electrons but with <span>different number of neutrons. They differ in the number of neutrons that is why they also differ in mass numbers. Since they have the same number of protons, they have the same atomic number. 
For instance, when the nucleus of the isotope with a 68.926 amu, there are 30 protons and 39 neutrons in the nucleus. The best example for this is Zn (zinc-69 isotope) and Ga (gallium-69 isotope) which has 68.926 amu and 68.925 amu respectively. </span></span>
