Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) Rennin.
· Rennin, also known as chymosin, is an enzyme specifically responsible for the digestion of milk protein, particularly casein. It is found in the stomachs of young mammals and is crucial for curdling milk, which helps in the digestion and absorption of nutrients from milk.
Information Booster:
· Pepsin: An enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides in the stomach but is not specific to milk proteins.
· Trypsin: An enzyme produced in the pancreas that further breaks down proteins in the small intestine, but it is not specific to milk protein.
· Erepsin: A mixture of enzymes that further breaks down peptides into amino acids in the small intestine but is not specifically responsible for milk protein digestion.
