During the process of digestion, the proteins present in food materials are hydrolysed to amino acids. The two enzymes involved in the process are respectively

A.amylase and maltase
B.diastase and lipase
C.pepsin and trypsin✓ Correct
D.invertase and zymase
Explanation

The two enzymes which are involved in the process of digestion are pepsin and trypsin. When pepsin enzymes act on protein molecule, it breaks the protein into peptide bonds. When the chain of amino-acid is broken, it gives poly-peptides. Poly-peptides is further broken into amino-acid by the action of Trypsin enzyme. pepsin trypsin Protein Polypeptide Aminoacids → → Thus, the correct option is (c) Pepsin and Trypsin. 12. Chargaff’s rule states that in an organism (a) amount of adenine (A) is equal to that of cytosine (C) and the amount of thymine (T) is equal to that of guanine (G) (b)
