Q. Which one of the following is the correct matching of the site of action on the given substrate, the enzyme acting upon it and the end product?
A) Stomach : Fats --(Lipase)→ micelles
B) Duodenum : Triglycerides --(Trypsin)→ monoglycerides
C) Small intestine : Starch --(α-Amylase)→ Disaccharide (Maltose)
D) Small intestine : Proteins --(Pepsin)→ Amino acids
Explanation
[Solution from source] In the small intestine pancreatic α-amylase breaks starch down to the disaccharide maltose. Trypsin is a protease and does not act on triglycerides, and pepsin works in the stomach, turning proteins into peptones and proteoses, not amino acids. Answer (3).
