Question

An enzyme that digests proteins into peptides is
A) lipase.
B) amylase.
C) nuclease.
D) maltase.
E) trypsin.

Accepted Answer

Trypsin is an enzyme that specifically digests proteins into smaller peptides by cleaving peptide bonds at specific amino acid residues. Lipase digests lipids, amylase digests carbohydrates, nuclease digests nucleic acids, and maltase digests maltose (a disaccharide made up of glucose units).
