Using this information, which of these enzymes breaks down dietary proteins in the stomach? Explain how you reached this conclusion.

Okay this is what i found i really do hope this helps you if not ill try harder in researching it. Pepsin. Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides (that is, a protease). It is produced in the stomach and is one of the main digestive enzymes in the digestive systems of humans and many other animals, where it helps digest the proteins in food. Trypsin is one of the three principal digestive proteinases, the other two being pepsin and chymotrypsin. In the digestive process, trypsin acts with the other proteinases to break down dietary protein molecules to their component peptides and amino acids.
