Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stomach, pancreas and jejunum are all directly involved in the digestion of protein. The stomach produces pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down protein, while the pancreas produces several proteases (enzymes that break down proteins) such as trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase. The jejunum is the part of the small intestine where the majority of protein digestion and absorption occur through the action of these proteases. None of the other choices include all three of these organs.
