The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which enzyme is correctly matched with its respective function, we will analyze each enzyme and its proposed function step-by-step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Enzymes and Their Functions**: We have four enzymes with their respective functions to evaluate: - **Lysozyme**: Proposed function - activates trypsinogen. - **Pepsin**: Proposed function - antibacterial agent. - **Renin**: Proposed function - digestion of milk protein. - **Enterokinase**: Proposed function - absorption of water. 2. **Evaluate the First Option (Lysozyme)**: - **Lysozyme** is known to be present in saliva and acts as an antibacterial agent. It does not activate trypsinogen. - **Conclusion**: This match is incorrect. 3. **Evaluate the Second Option (Pepsin)**: - **Pepsin** is a proteolytic enzyme that digests proteins in the stomach. It is not an antibacterial agent; that role belongs to lysozyme. - **Conclusion**: This match is incorrect. 4. **Evaluate the Third Option (Renin)**: - **Renin** is indeed a proteolytic enzyme that is involved in the digestion of milk proteins, particularly in infants. It helps coagulate milk, making it easier to digest. - **Conclusion**: This match is correct. 5. **Evaluate the Fourth Option (Enterokinase)**: - **Enterokinase** is an enzyme that activates trypsinogen to trypsin and is not involved in the absorption of water. - **Conclusion**: This match is incorrect. 6. **Final Conclusion**: After evaluating all the options, the only correct match is: - **Renin**: Digestion of milk protein. ### Answer: The correct enzyme matched with its respective function is **Renin - Digestion of milk protein**.
