Which enzyme is present in pancreatic juice?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Amylase.

Pancreatic juice contains several enzymes that play crucial roles in digestion. 

These include:

  • Amylase: This enzyme helps in the digestion of starch and other carbohydrates by breaking them down into simpler sugars like glucose and maltose.
  • Lipase: This enzyme is responsible for digesting fats by breaking them down into fatty acids and glycerol. 
  • Proteases: These enzymes, including trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase, are involved in the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.
