Detailed Solution
Enterokinase activates trypsinogen, which activates other proenzymes of pancreatic juice. All these enzymes are involved in the digestion of proteins. Deficiency of proteins unaccompanied by calorie deficiency results in kwashiorkor. It is stated in the question that the child is well-fed.
