Question : 3
Total: 12
Given below are two columns, Column I shows enzymes secreted by the glands in the alimentary canal of human beings and Column II indicates the components of food on which enzymes act. Choose the options showing correct matching:
| Column I (Enzymes) | Column II (Component) |
|---|---|
| (a) Pepsin | Starch |
| (b) Trypsin | Proteins |
| (c) Lipase | Proteins |
| (d) Amylase | Emulsified fat |
Solution:
Pepsin is an enzyme produced in the mucosal lining of the stomach, that acts to degrade protein. Trypsin, a serine protease is an enzyme that helps us in digesting protein. Lipase degrades emulsified fats and lipids into glycerol, monoacylglycerol, diacylglycerol, and fatty acids. Amylase is a digestive enzyme that breaks starch down into smaller molecules of carbohydrate.
