Part B - Digestion and Absorption of Proteins Pepsin is formed from pepsinogen here. Single amino acids, dipeptides, and tripeptides are absorbed here. Food containing protein is crushed and moistened here. Amino acids can be converted into glucose here. Amino acids that enter the bloodstream from the small intestine travel to here. Hydrochloric acid denatures protein here. Proteases are produced here and delivered via a duct to the small intestine. Mouth Stomach Small Intestine Pancreas Liver
