Question

State true or false :

(1) Dipeptide $\to$ peptidase $\to$ Amino acid

(2) Pepsinogen $\to$ HCL $\to$ Pepsin

(3) Trypsinogen $\to$ Enterokinase $\to$ Trypsin

(4) Monoglyceride $\to$ Protease $\to$ Fatty acid and glycerol and glycerol

• A. TFTF
• B. FFTT
• C. TTFF
• D. TTTF

Answer 1

The correct option is D TTTF

A protease (also called a peptidase or proteinase) is an enzyme that catalyzes proteolysis, breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and spurring the formation of new protein products.

In the stomach, gastric cells secrete pepsinogen (precursor to pepsin), it gets activated by hydrochloric acid into pepsin, Pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller peptides.

The pancreatic juice contains inactive enzyme which are activated by intestinal juice, the enzyme trypsinogen is activated into trypsin by enterokinase.

Lipase is the enzyme that converts emulsified fats into glycerol and fatty acids.

So, the correct answer is "option D"
