Answer 1

Maps will vary. Figure 21.9 and 21.10 in the chapter.

Answer 2

Proenzymes include: trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypeptidase, procolipase, and prophospholipase. When it comes into contact with enteropeptidase in the brush border of the intestine, trypsinogen is converted to trypsin, which then activates the other proenzymes. The pathway can be found in Figure 21.14 in the chapter.
