The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the enzymes involved in protein digestion, we will analyze each step of the flowchart and identify the correct enzymes P, Q, R, and S. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Enzyme P**: - The digestion of proteins begins in the stomach. The main enzyme responsible for this process is **pepsin**. Pepsin is secreted as an inactive form called **pepsinogen** by the gastric glands and is activated in the acidic environment of the stomach (pH ≈ 2). - Thus, **P is Pepsin**. 2. **Identify Enzyme Q**: - After proteins are broken down into proteoses and peptones by pepsin, these products are further digested in the small intestine. The pancreatic juice contains several enzymes, including **trypsin**, which acts on proteoses and peptones to convert them into polypeptides. - Therefore, **Q is Trypsin**. 3. **Identify Enzyme R**: - Polypeptides are further broken down into smaller units called dipeptides. This process is facilitated by enzymes known as **dipeptidases**. - Hence, **R is Dipeptidase**. 4. **Identify Enzyme S**: - Finally, dipeptides are broken down into amino acids by the enzyme **aminopeptidase**, which acts on the terminal end of the dipeptides. - Thus, **S is Aminopeptidase**. ### Summary of Enzymes: - **P: Pepsin** - **Q: Trypsin** - **R: Dipeptidase** - **S: Aminopeptidase** ### Final Answer: The correct information of enzymes P, Q, R, and S is: - P: Pepsin - Q: Trypsin - R: Dipeptidase - S: Aminopeptidase
