Solution
The correct option is B Amino acids, Proteins
- Proteins are converted into dipeptides in the stomach which is followed by the conversion of dipeptides to amino acids in the small intestine. These amino acids are absorbed through the wall of the intestine as simple absorbable substances.
- Hence In order to absorb and use Proteins by the body, these must be broken down by hydrolysis into proteins.
- So, the correct answer is 'amino acids, proteins'.
