Options
Column I
(Enzymes)Column II
(Component)Pepsin Starch Column I
(Enzymes)Column II
(Component)Trypsin Proteins Column I
(Enzymes)Column II
(Component)Lipase Proteins Column I
(Enzymes)Column II
(Component)Amylase Emulsified fat
Solution
| Column I (Enzymes) |
Column II (Component) |
| Trypsin | Proteins |
Explanation:
Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down protein and is produced in the mucosal lining of the stomach. An enzyme that aids in the digestion of protein is trypsin, a serine protease. Emulsified fats and lipids are broken down by the enzyme lipase into glycerol, monoacylglycerol, diacylglycerol, and fatty acids. Amylase is a digestive enzyme that disassembles starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules.
