Question

Give an example of a flower which contain both stamen and carpel.
Mention any one point of difference between perpsin and trypsin.

Answer 1

1. A flower that contains both stamen and pistil is called a bisexual flower. For example, Lily, Tulip, Sunflower, Rose etc.

2. Both pepsin and trypsin are associated with the digestion of proteins but the difference is that pepsin acts on proteins in the stomach whereas trypsin acts on proteins in the small intestine. Pepsin is the active form of pepsinogen which gets activated in the presence of HCl secreted by stomach while trypsin is the active form of trypsinogen which gets activated in the presence of intestinal juices.
