(N/A) Pancreatic juice contains inactive enzymes: $Trypsinogen$, $Chymotrypsinogen$, and $Procarboxypeptidases$, along with $Amylase$, $Lipase$, and $Nuclease$.
$Trypsinogen$ is activated by $Enterokinase$ (secreted by the intestinal mucosa) into active $Trypsin$, which subsequently activates the other proteolytic enzymes in the pancreatic juice.
$Trypsin$ acts on proteins, $Proteoses$, and $Peptones$ to convert them into $Polypeptides$.
$Chymotrypsin$ converts $Proteoses$ and $Polypeptides$ into smaller $Peptides$.
$Carboxypeptidase$ acts on the terminal ends of $Polypeptides$ to release individual $Amino acids$ and smaller $Peptides$.
