The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which is correctly categorized?", we need to analyze each option provided and determine if the categorization is accurate. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Troponin and Myosin**: - Troponin is a complex of three regulatory proteins that play a crucial role in muscle contraction, specifically in skeletal and cardiac muscles. - Myosin is a type of motor protein that is essential for muscle contraction and is involved in various motility processes. **Conclusion**: Troponin and myosin are correctly categorized as proteins involved in muscle contraction. 2. **Analyzing Calcitonin and Thymosin**: - Calcitonin is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that helps regulate calcium levels in the blood. - Thymosin is a hormone produced by the thymus gland that is involved in the development of T-cells (a type of white blood cell). **Conclusion**: Calcitonin and thymosin are not both thyroid hormones; thus, this categorization is incorrect. 3. **Evaluating Pepsin and Prolactin**: - Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that is secreted in the stomach and is responsible for breaking down proteins. - Prolactin, however, is a hormone primarily involved in lactation and is not a digestive enzyme. **Conclusion**: Pepsin and prolactin are incorrectly categorized as digestive enzymes secreted in the stomach. 4. **Reviewing Secretion and Rhodopsin**: - Secretion generally refers to the process of producing and releasing substances like hormones or enzymes. - Rhodopsin is a light-sensitive receptor protein involved in visual phototransduction in the retina, not a polypeptide hormone. **Conclusion**: Secretion and rhodopsin are incorrectly categorized as polypeptide hormones. ### Final Answer: The correctly categorized pair is **Troponin and Myosin complex protein in striated muscles**. ---
