Solution

The correct option is A True
In the duodenum, trypsin catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, breaking down proteins into smaller peptides.
The peptide products are then further hydrolyzed into amino acids via other proteases, and then absorption occurs into the bloodstream. Hence, Trypsin digests proteins into amino acids.
So, the correct answer is 'true'.
