Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • These enzymes are secreted by the pancreas and play crucial roles in the digestive process:
  • Lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
  • Amylase breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars.
  • Trypsinogen is an inactive precursor of trypsin, which digests proteins.
  • Procarboxy-peptidase is an inactive precursor of carboxypeptidase, which also digests proteins.
