Question

The enzyme commonly presents in insectivorous plants to fulfil the need of their specific habit

• A. Trypsin
• B. Pepsin
• C. Pectinase
• D. Cellulase

Answer 1

The correct option is B Pepsin

• Trypsin works as a digestive enzyme to break down proteins in the small intestine.
• Some plants eat insects. Such plants are called insectivorous plants. They trap and digest insects. The insect is then digested by the enzyme pepsin secreted by the cells of the plants. Example -The protease secreted in the pitcher fluid is pepsin-like.
• Pectinase is the enzyme that breaks down pectin and polysaccharides found in plant cell walls.
• Cellulase is the enzyme that converts cellulose into glucose or a disaccharide.

So option B is correct.
