Biomolecules - Result Question 49
####49. During the process of digestion, the proteins present in food materials are hydrolysed to amino acids. The two enzymes involved in the process
Proteins $\xrightarrow{\text{ Enzyme (A) }}$ Polypeptides
$\xrightarrow[\text{ Enzyme(B) }]{\longrightarrow}$ Amino acids
are respectively
[2006]
(a) Diastase and Lipase
(b) Pepsin and Trypsin
(c) Invertase and Zymase
(d) Amylase and Maltase
Show Answer
Solution:
(b) Pepsin and Trypsin are two enzymes involved in the process (hydrolysis of proteins)
Proteins $\xrightarrow[\text{ Proteases }]{\text{ Pepsin }}$ Polypeptides
$\xrightarrow \begin{cases} \text{ Chemotrypsin } \\ \text{ (Pancreatic juice Intestine) } \end{cases} {\text{ Trypsin }}$ Amino acids
