During the process of digestion, the protein present in food materials are hydrolysed to amino acids. The two enzymes involved in the process are: Proteins Enzyme \( \quad(A) \) Polypeptides Enzyme\( ^{(B)} \) Amino acids

  1. Invertase and zymase
  2. Amylase and maltase
  3. Diastase and lipase
  4. Pepsin and trypsin

Correct answer: Pepsin and trypsin

Solution

Pepsin begins protein digestion in the stomach by breaking proteins into polypeptides. Trypsin continues this process in the small intestine, helping convert polypeptides into smaller peptides and ultimately amino acids.
