The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of choosing the wrong match, we need to analyze each option provided: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option 1: Salivary Amylase, Starch, Slightly Acidic Medium, Dextrin** - Salivary amylase is an enzyme found in saliva that breaks down starch into simpler sugars, primarily maltose and dextrin. - The reaction occurs in a slightly acidic medium (around pH 6.8). - This option is correct. 2. **Option 2: Chymotrypsin, Protein, Acidic pH, Amino Acids** - Chymotrypsin is a digestive enzyme produced in the pancreas and acts in the small intestine. - It is activated in an alkaline environment (pH around 7.5-8.5) and is responsible for breaking down proteins into peptides and amino acids. - The mention of "acidic pH" is incorrect because chymotrypsin is not active in acidic conditions. - This option is incorrect. 3. **Option 3: Stepsyn (Lipase), Triglycerides, Monoglycerides** - Lipase is the enzyme that breaks down triglycerides into monoglycerides and fatty acids. - The term "Stepsyn" is not commonly used; however, if it refers to lipase, the function described is correct. - This option is correct, assuming "Stepsyn" refers to lipase. 4. **Option 4: Nucleosides, Chymotrypsin** - Chymotrypsin is an enzyme that digests proteins, not nucleosides. - Nucleosides are components of nucleic acids, and their digestion is carried out by nucleases, not chymotrypsin. - This option is incorrect. ### Conclusion: The wrong match is **Option 2: Chymotrypsin, Protein, Acidic pH, Amino Acids** because chymotrypsin is not active in acidic pH.
