A Correct answer
Explanation

Protease and bromelain are the two enzymes, along with the gastric acid contained in the stomach, responsible for the breakdown of protein. The protein found in meat products is very difficult to breakdown and takes the digestive system a long time to perform the task. When protein is sufficiently broken down into its smaller molecules called amino acids, the body can then utilize them to rebuild soft tissue.
