Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lack of villus tripeptidases and dipeptidases would impair the ability to break down peptides into individual amino acids in the small intestine. As a result, option B is the correct choice, as it describes how peptides are broken down into amino acids. The other options involve the breakdown of proteins, polypeptides, and tripeptides, which are not directly affected by the lack of these enzymes.
