Question

Trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase are examples of

• A. lipases
• B. carbohydrases
• C. proteases
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C proteases

Lipases, carbohydrases and proteases play an important role in digestion.

Trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase are different proteases that break down proteins into smaller polypeptides and peptides.

Lipases are a set of enzymes that break triglycerides (fats) into fatty acids and glycerol.

Carbohydrases are a set of enzymes that convert bigger carbohydrates into smaller ones. Amylase, maltase, sucrase, etc. are a few examples of carbohydrases.
