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.
