$ \hspace{30mm} \xrightarrow{\text{Enzyme(B)}} \text{Amino acids} $
are respectively
(a) Diastase and Lipase
(b) Pepsin and Trypsin
(c) Invertase and Zymase
(d) Amylase and Maltase

Answer:
Correct Answer: 44.(b)
Solution:
(b) Pepsin and Trypsin are two enzymes involved in the process (hydrolysis of proteins)
Proteins $\xrightarrow[\text{Proteases}]{\text{ Pepsin }}$ Polypeptides
