Where is protein digestion accomplished?

1. Stomach
2. Ileum

Correct answer: Duodenum

Solution

Protein digestion is largely completed in the duodenum, where pancreatic proteases and intestinal enzymes act on partially digested proteins. The stomach begins protein digestion, but the duodenum is where it is accomplished.
