Answer:

digestion of protein starts from the stomach, absorbs in the jejenuim after pancreatic juice (pepsin and renin) and bile have finished working on it. Its digestion ends in the ileum which is the final stage of the small intestine

The protein is digested by breaking up all of the fatty acids and then transferring it the the stomach then the protein is used to repair muscle or stored as energy or fat
