Question

The human stomach secretes an enzyme known as pepsin. This enzyme breaks down proteins into smaller chemical molecules called peptides. If pepsin was mixed in a laboratory with sugar molecules like glucose, what is the MOST LIKELY result?

Answer 1

C; pepsin will probably not react with the sugar glucose since its an enzyme that breaks down protein

Answer 2

Well, if pepsin reacts (breaks down) proteins then we must ask: is glucose a protein? No, it's not, it's a carbohydrate. so it would most likelt not react with glucose.
