Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pepsin, trypsin digests proteins into peptides and amino acids and is made and secreted in an inactive form, trypsinogen. Amylase is present in starch. :)

Pepsin is the chief digestive enzyme in the stomach, which breaks down proteins into polypeptides. Hope this helped x
