A and B in the given graph are the action spectra of the two enzymes. The two enzymes are

A

A: amylase B: trypsin

B

A: pepsin B: trypsin

C

A: chymotrypsin B: rennin

D

A: lectate dehydrogenase B: amylase.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Pepsin and trypsin both are protein digesting enzymes, but they work at different locations and different pH in alimentary canal. Pepsin, which is most active at pH of 1.5 to 2.5, is an important peptic enzyme in stomach. Truypsin. Which is a pancreatic protease, acts mostly in upper small intestine (duodenum and jejenum). works at an optimum pH of 7.5-8.5.

For the enzyme action

The given graph depicts the effect of temperature on the activity of the two enzymes A and B that catalyze the same reaction. Select the correct statement (s) for these results A. The rate of reaction in each case increases with increase in temperature and declines at higher temperatures due to denaturation of the enzyme B. Both the enzymes A and B are thermolabile C. At higher temperature the reactants become highly energized and fail to interact with active site, thus decreasing the rate of reaction D. The enzyme A is from a mesophilic organism, whereas the enzyme B is from a thermophilic organism
