Solution
The correct option is C Rennin Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme. The enzyme helps to digest proteins. Pepsin is secreted by the stomach cells. Cells in the intestine absorb the digestion products of the protein into the bloodstream. Trypsin acts in the small intestine. Ptyalin and amylase work in saliva. Chymosin is known as rennin. It is a proteolytic enzyme synthesized by chief cells in the stomach. Its role in digestion is to curdle or coagulate milk in the stomach. This process occurs in the small babies. If milk were not coagulated, it would rapidly flow through the stomach and miss the opportunity for initial digestion of its proteins.
