Name the correct substrates for the following enzymes.(a) Trypsin (b) Amylase (c) Pepsin (d) Lipase

The correct substrates for the enzymes are:

(a) Trypsin: Trypsin is a protease enzyme that specifically cleaves peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of basic amino acids such as lysine and arginine. Therefore, its substrate is typically protein or polypeptide chains.

(b) Amylase: Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch (amylose and amylopectin) into smaller carbohydrate molecules such as maltose and glucose. Its substrate is starch.

(c) Pepsin: Pepsin is a protease enzyme that works in the acidic environment of the stomach. It cleaves peptide bonds, particularly between aromatic amino acids (like phenylalanine and tyrosine). Therefore, its substrate is typically protein.

(d) Lipase: Lipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of lipids (fats) into glycerol and fatty acids. Its substrate is triglycerides (or fats).

So, summarizing the substrates:
(a) Trypsin: Protein or polypeptides
(b) Amylase: Starch
(c) Pepsin: Protein
(d) Lipase: Triglycerides
