Which of the following enzymes is most similar in mode of action to carboxypeptidase?

Question

A) lipase

B) amylase

C) aminopeptidase

D) pepsin

E) trypsin

Answer 1

C) aminopeptidase

Answer 2

1. lipase --> fat digestion

2. amylase ---> carbohydrate digestion

c. aminopeptidase --> enzyme which removes amino acids sequentially from the free amino terminal of a peptide or protein

d. pepsin --> first protein digestion in stomach

e. trypsin --> digestion of amino acids in protein

f. carboxypeptidase --> enzyme that hydrolyzes the carboxy-terminal (C-terminal) peptide bond of proteins and peptides thus releasing the last amino acid of the chain.

so judging from the functions, it will be aminopeptidase
