Question

Regarding assertion and reason, select the right option.
Assertion[A]: Trypsin helps in blood digestion of predator animals.
Reason[R]: Trypsin hydrolyses fibrinogen.

• A. Both reason and assertion are true and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
• B. Both the reason and assertion are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
• C. Assertion is true but the reason is false.
• D. Both the assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both reason and assertion are true and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.

Trypsin is a protein digesting enzyme present in the intestine of animals. Though it cannot digest casein (a milk protein) in predator animals drinking the blood of their prey, trypsin hydrolyses fibrinogen of blood to fibrin, leading to blood coagulation, thus help in blood digestion. It also activates other pancreatic proteases.
