Question

These enzymes function actively in acidic medium.

• A. Trypsin and chymotrypsin
• B. Tripeptidase and steapsin
• C. Rennin and pepsin
• D. Dipeptidase and enterokinase

Hint:

Enzymes like pepsin and rennin are adapted to function in acidic conditions, primarily in the stomach where the pH is low.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Enzymes that work in acidic conditions are primarily those involved in digestion, such as pepsin and rennin.
- Pepsin is an enzyme in the stomach that works best in acidic environments to break down proteins.
- Rennin, also called chymosin, is an enzyme found in the stomach of young mammals and aids in curdling milk, which also occurs in an acidic environment.
Thus, the correct match is Rennin and pepsin (Option C).
