Q. Which of the following one of the following is not a digestive enzyme
  • (A) Pepsin
  • (B) Renin
  • (C) Insulin
  • (D) Amylopsin
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) Insulin

Explanation:

Digestive enzymes help break down food into smaller molecules for absorption. Let's analyze each option:

Pepsin β†’ (A)

  • A digestive enzyme found in the stomach that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides.

Renin (Rennin) β†’ (B)

  • Found in infants, it helps in the digestion of milk proteins by curdling milk.

Amylopsin (Pancreatic Amylase) β†’ (D)

  • A digestive enzyme secreted by the pancreas that breaks down starch into maltose.

Insulin β†’ (C)

  • Not a digestive enzyme. It is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels.

Since insulin is a hormone, not a digestive enzyme, the correct answer is (C) Insulin.
