Question

Identify A, B, C and D
(i) Pepsinogen $\stackrel{a}{\to }$ pepsin
(ii) Maltose $\stackrel{b}{\to }$ Glucose + Glucose
(iii) Nucleic acid $\stackrel{c}{\to }$ Nucleotides $\stackrel{d}{\to }$ Nucleosides

• A. a – HCl, b – pH 7.6, c – Nucleases, d – Nucleotidases
• B. a – HCl, b – pH 8.6, c – Nucleotidases, d – Nucleotidases
• C. a – HCl, b – pH 8.4, c – Nucleases, d – Nucleotidases
• D. a – HCl, b – pH 6.8, c – Nucleotidases, d – Nucleotidases

Answer 1

The correct option is A a – HCl, b – pH 7.6, c – Nucleases, d – Nucleotidases

HCl activates inactive pepsinogen into pepsin.
Disaccharides act at alkaline pH.and Maltose breaks down into two glucose units
Nucleases cleave nucleic acid to form nucleotides. Nucleotidases act on nucleotides to form nucleosides
