Question

Match the enzymes of Column-I with the functions of Column-II. Choose the correct option.

Column I	Column II
1. Enterokinase	p. Digests milk proteins
2. Rennin	q. Digests carbohydrates
3. Amylase	r. Activates trypsinogen
4. Lipase	s. Acts on nucleic acids
	t. Breakdown fats

• A. 1-s, 2-p, 3-t, 4-q
• B. 1-r, 2-p, 3-t, 4-q
• C. 1-s, 2-q, 3-p,4-t
• D. 1-r, 2-p, 3-q, 4-t

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1-r, 2-p, 3-q, 4-t

A trypsinogen is a precursor form of trypsin which cleaves the peptide bond of a polypeptide to yield amino acids. The inactivated form trypsinogen is activated by enterokinase.

Rennin is the enzyme which is secreted in the gut of the infants which helps in the digestion of the milk proteins.

Amylase is the enzyme that acts on the carbohydrates and results in the breakdown of starch to sugar by digesting the glycosidic bonds.

Lipase is involved in the digestion of the fats into fatty acids.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
