    Pepsin is an enzyme. What are the properties of enzymes? Open your books and notebooks, there surely are some notes about that.

    Pepsin is found in the stomach. Therefore, hydrochloric acid (acid found in human stomach) should be added to the test tube. The test tube should also have a temp. of 37 degrees Celsius.
