Answer 2

Amylase and pepsin are the enzymes that help in digestion of food.

Explanation:

Amylase

• The digestion of food is initiated in the mouth.
• The saliva contains electrolytes, salivary amylase and lysozyme.
• Here, salivary amylase hydrolysis about 30% of the starch at the optimum pH 6.8. The starch is converted into maltose by the action of amylase.
• $Starch \xrightarrow{amylase} Maltose$

Pepsin

• Pepsin is activated on the action of HCl in the stomach.
• $Pepsinogen \xrightarrow{HCl} Pepsin$
• Pepsin converts protein into protease and peptones.
• $Protein \xrightarrow{pepsin} Proteases\\Protein \xrightarrow{pepsin} Peptones$
