Question

Name the enzyme which help in digestion of the foods shown below in small intestine:

I- Amylase, II - Lipase

I- Lipase, II- Trypsin

I- Bile juice, II- Pepsin

I- Protease, II – Amylase

• A. I- Amylase, II - Lipase
• B. I- Lipase, II- Trypsin
• C. I- Bile juice, II- Pepsin
• D. I- Protease, II – Amylase

Answer 1

The correct option is B

I- Lipase, II- Trypsin

In our digestive system, different nutrients are broken down with the help of different enzymes. For example:

• Chocolate cake is rich in fats. After emulsification by bile salts, it is digested by a lipase enzyme secreted by the pancreas.
• Fish is rich in protein and is digested by trypsin in the small intestine after it partially gets digested in the stomach.
