Trypsin enzyme is helpful in which action?

Correct option is D

The Correct Answer is Digestion of protein
Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme (protein-digesting enzyme) that plays a crucial role in the digestion of proteins. It is secreted by the pancreas in an inactive form called trypsinogen, which is then activated in the small intestine by an enzyme called enterokinase. Once active, trypsin breaks down large protein molecules into smaller peptides, which are further broken down into amino acids.
Information Booster:
· Trypsin works best in the alkaline environment of the small intestine.
· It is part of a group of enzymes known as proteases, which include pepsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase, all involved in protein digestion.
Additional Knowledge:
· Digestion of carbohydrate: Done by enzymes like amylase (salivary and pancreatic).
· Digestion of fat: Done by lipase enzymes, mainly pancreatic lipase.
· Digestion of nucleic acid: Handled by nucleases such as deoxyribonuclease (DNase) and ribonuclease (RNase).
