Which is mixed with proteins to break them into amino acids?

Answer

enzymes
B
saliva
C

Enzymes in the digestive system break proteins down into smaller parts and eventually into amino acids. Saliva begins digestion of some foods, fat is a nutrient, and villi absorb nutrients in the small intestine; none of these breaks proteins into amino acids. The correct choice is enzymes.
