Question

Which one of the following is the correct match of digestive enzyme and substrate?

• A. Lactose-Renin
• B. Starch-Maltose
• C. Fat-Steapsin
• D. Casein-Trypsin

Answer 1

The correct option is C Fat-Steapsin

• Digestive enzymes are a group of enzymes that break down polymeric macromolecues into their smaller building blocks, in order to facilitate their absorption by the body.
• These digestive enzymes help in the breakdown of food so that the nutrients contained within the food can be absorbed.
• Steapsin belongs to the class of digestive enzymes called lipases found in the pancreatic juice that catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol. Hence, fats-steapsin is the correct match of digestive enzyme and substrate.

So, the correct answer is 'Fat-Steapsin'.
