Question

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:

Options

• Column I (Enzymes)	Column II (Component)
  Pepsin	Starch

• Column I (Enzymes)	Column II (Component)
  Trypsin	Proteins

• Column I (Enzymes)	Column II (Component)
  Lipase	Proteins

• Column I (Enzymes)	Column II (Component)
  Amylase	Emulsified fat

Answer 1

Column I (Enzymes)	Column II (Component)
Trypsin	Proteins

Explanation:

Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down protein and is produced in the mucosal lining of the stomach. An enzyme that aids in the digestion of protein is trypsin, a serine protease. Emulsified fats and lipids are broken down by the enzyme lipase into glycerol, monoacylglycerol, diacylglycerol, and fatty acids. Amylase is a digestive enzyme that disassembles starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules.
