Q: In the human digestive system, which of the following enzymes converts protein into proteases and peptones?
  • A. Pepsin
  • B. Lipases
  • C. Maltase
  • D. Amylase
Correct Answer: Option A - • Pepsin converts protein into proteases and peptones. • A lipase is any enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats (lipids). • Maltase, enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the disaccharide maltose to the simple sugar glucose. • An amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Amylases are present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals.
