Enterokinase is an enzyme found in the small intestine that plays a crucial role in the activation of trypsinogen, an inactive precursor enzyme. Enterokinase cleaves trypsinogen to its active form, trypsin, which then initiates the activation of other pancreatic enzymes involved in protein digestion.

Proteoses are partially digested proteins, and their further breakdown into dipeptides relies on the action of enzymes such as trypsin. Without enterokinase to activate trypsinogen, the conversion of proteoses into dipeptides would be impaired, leading to a disruption in the digestion and absorption of proteinsTherefore, option 3 is the correct answer.
