The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct pairing of the site of action and substrate of rennin, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Function of Rennin**: Rennin, also known as chymosin, is a proteolytic enzyme that plays a crucial role in the digestion of milk, particularly in infants. 2. **Identify the Source of Rennin**: Rennin is secreted by the chief cells located in the stomach. This is important as it tells us where the enzyme acts. 3. **Determine the Substrate of Rennin**: The primary substrate for rennin is casein, which is a protein found in milk. Casein is the main protein that needs to be digested when infants consume milk. 4. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Option A**: Oral cavity, starch - Incorrect, as starch is not the substrate for rennin. - **Option B**: Stomach, protein - This is vague; while rennin acts in the stomach on proteins, it specifically targets casein. - **Option C**: Stomach, casein - Correct, as rennin acts in the stomach on casein. - **Option D**: K-comb cellulose - Incorrect, as cellulose is not a substrate for rennin. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct pairing of the site of action and substrate of rennin is **Option C: Stomach, casein**. ### Final Answer: The correct pairing site of action and substrate of rennin is **Stomach, casein**.
