Question

Identify A, B and C.

(i) Pepsinogen $\stackrel{a}{\to }$ pepsin

(ii) Maltose $\stackrel{b}{\to }$ Glucose + Glucose

(iii) Nucleic acid $\stackrel{c}{\to }$ Nucleotides

• A. a - HCl, b - pH 7.6, c - Nucleases
• B. a - HCl, b - pH 8.6, c - Ligases
• C. a - HCl, b - pH 8.4, c - Peptidases
• D. a - HCl, b - pH 6.8, c - Nucleosidases

Answer 1

The correct option is A

a - HCl, b - pH 7.6, c - Nucleases

HCl activates inactive pepsinogen into pepsin. Dissacharidases act at alkaline pH. Nucleases cleave nucleic acid to nucleotides.
