(6)_________________.

Answer 1

Trypsin is an enzyme that is present in pancreatic juice. It helps to digest proteins and break them down into something that can be absorbed by the body. It is an enzyme that hydrolyzes(1)peptide bonds into smaller sub-units called (2)oligopeptides and dipeptides, which are further hydrolized into amino acids to make them available for absorption into the blood stream. 

Steapsin is also an enzyme in pancreatic juice or is a pancreatic lipase called triacylglycerol lipase. It catalyzes the breakdown of fats. It is an enzyme that hydrolyzes (3)fats into smaller sub-units called (4)fatty acids & (5)glycerol. Phenol red is a pH indicator that can determine the presence of acids. It is a color indicator that turns turns (6)yellow in the presence of acid.
