Q. Which of the following digestive enzymes are correctly matched with their primary function?- Amylase – Digestion of starch into maltose
- Pepsin – Breakdown of proteins in stomach
- Lipase – Hydrolysis of fats into glycerol and fatty acids
Select the correct option using the codes below:
Answer:
1, 2 and 3
Notes: Amylase catalyzes the breakdown of starch to maltose. Pepsin, secreted in the stomach, hydrolyzes proteins into peptides. Lipase (mainly pancreatic) hydrolyzes fats to glycerol and fatty acids. All three enzymes are correctly matched with their respective digestive roles, making all three correct.
