2. Capsule shells are made with

Explanation

Gelatin is the correct answer because it is commonly used in the production of capsule shells. Gelatin is a protein derived from animal collagen and is known for its ability to form a solid, transparent gel when mixed with water. This gelatinous property makes it an ideal ingredient for creating the outer shell of capsules, as it can hold the contents of the capsule together and provide a protective barrier. Gelatin is also easily digestible and does not interfere with the absorption of the capsule's contents, making it a popular choice in the pharmaceutical industry.
