Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Biology - 2010 (Objective) Subject: Biology

Question 1 Report

Which of the following food substances is incorrectly linked to its enzyme?

Answer Details
Sucrose - pepsin is incorrectly linked to its enzyme. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. It is produced in the stomach and works best in acidic conditions. Sucrose, on the other hand, is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. It is broken down into its component monosaccharides by the enzyme sucrase, which is produced in the small intestine. Therefore, the correct enzyme linked to sucrose is sucrase, not pepsin.
