Which of the Following is True

Question

Which of the following is true?
A) Lipases are emulsifying agents.
B) Amylases digest carbohydrates.
C) Pepsin is an amylase.
D) Trypsin is a lipase.

Accepted Answer

Amylases are a type of enzyme that break down carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches. Lipases, on the other hand, break down fats, while pepsin is a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins. Trypsin is also a type of protein-digesting enzyme, not a lipase. Therefore, the correct option is B.
