Which among the following enzymes is required to digest protein? |
Disaccharides Trypsin Amylase Lipase |
Trypsin |
The correct answer is Option (2)- Trypsin Trypsin is the enzyme required to digest proteins. Trypsin is a protease enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. It is produced by the pancreas and plays a crucial role in the digestion of proteins in the small intestine. The other enzymes mentioned—amylase and lipase—are involved in the digestion of carbohydrates and fats, respectively. Disaccharides, on the other hand, are types of sugars and not enzymes involved in protein digestion. |
