The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reactions involving digestive enzymes, we will analyze each reaction step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing Reaction (i)**: - The reaction states: "Pepsinogen" overset(HCl) rarr "Pepsin". - **Explanation**: Pepsinogen is an inactive enzyme (zymogen) that is converted to its active form, pepsin, in the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is **correct**. 2. **Analyzing Reaction (ii)**: - The reaction states: "Proteins" overset("pepsinogen") rarr "Proteoses + Peptones". - **Explanation**: The correct enzyme that breaks down proteins into proteoses and peptones is pepsin, not pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is the inactive form, and it does not directly act on proteins. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyzing Reaction (iii)**: - The reaction states: "Trypsinogen" overset(HCl) rarr "Trypsin". - **Explanation**: Trypsinogen is also an inactive enzyme that is converted to trypsin, but this conversion occurs in the intestine with the help of enterokinase, not HCl. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is **incorrect**. 4. **Analyzing Reaction (iv)**: - The reaction states: "Chymotrypsinogen" overset("enterokinase") rarr "Chymotrypsin". - **Explanation**: Chymotrypsinogen is converted to chymotrypsin, but this conversion is actually facilitated by trypsin, not enterokinase. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is **incorrect**. 5. **Analyzing Reaction (v)**: - The reaction states: "Peptones" overset("trypsin") rarr "Dipeptides". - **Explanation**: Trypsin acts on peptones to break them down into smaller peptides, including dipeptides. - **Conclusion**: This reaction is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion: From the analysis: - Reaction (i) is correct. - Reaction (ii) is incorrect. - Reaction (iii) is incorrect. - Reaction (iv) is incorrect. - Reaction (v) is correct. Thus, the correct options are **1st and 5th reactions**.
