The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the enzymes at locations 'X' and 'Y', we need to analyze the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Process**: The question states that proteins are converted into "proteoses + peptoses" at location 'X', and these are further converted into "dipeptides" at location 'Y'. 2. **Identifying Enzyme 'X'**: - The enzyme that breaks down proteins into proteoses and peptoses is **pepsin**. - Pepsin is a digestive enzyme secreted by the stomach and is responsible for the initial digestion of proteins. 3. **Identifying Enzyme 'Y'**: - The next step involves the conversion of proteoses and peptoses into dipeptides. This process is facilitated by the enzyme **trypsin**. - Trypsin is secreted by the pancreas and acts in the small intestine, continuing the digestion of proteins into smaller peptides. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, at location 'X', the enzyme is **pepsin**, and at location 'Y', the enzyme is **trypsin**. - The final answer is: **X = pepsin, Y = trypsin**. ### Final Answer: - The enzymes at location 'X' and 'Y' are respectively **pepsin** and **trypsin**.
