Which one of the following pairs of chemical substances is correctly categorized?

  1. Calcitonin and thyroxin - Thyroid hormones
  2. Pepsin and prolactin - Two digestive enzymes secreted in stomach
  3. Troponin and myosin - Complex proteins in striated muscles
  4. Secretin and rhodopsin - Polypeptide hormones

Correct answer: Troponin and myosin - Complex proteins in striated muscles

Solution

Troponin and myosin are both protein components of striated muscle involved in contraction. The other pairs mix incorrect categories: calcitonin is not a thyroid hormone pair with thyroxin in the intended sense, pepsin is a stomach enzyme but prolactin is a pituitary hormone, and secretin is a peptide hormone while rhodopsin is a visual pigment.
