Solution

The correct option is D Protein
The pancreatic enzymes have following functions:
1. Amylase digests the remaining complex carbohydrates into sugars by maltase, sucrase and lactase.
2. Trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase all digest proteins.
3. Lipase digests triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides.
Hence without pancreas digestion cannot take place. So, the correct answer is option D.

Q. If pancreas is removed, the compound which remain undigested is

If pancreas is removed, which of the following compounds remain undigested?

The partially digested food coming from the stomach of a person enters a long and narrow organ A in his body. The organ A receives the secretions of two glands: liver and pancreas. The liver secretes a greenish-yellow liquid B which is normally stored in the organ C. Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains three digestive enzymes D, E and F. The intestinal juice completes the process of digestion of food. The inner wall of organ A has millions of tiny finger-like projections G which help in the rapid absorption of digested food into the bloodstream. The undigested part of food then passes into wider tube H which absorbs most of the water from undigested food. The last part of tube H called I stores this undigested food (or waste) for some time. The undigested food is then passed out through opening J as faeces in the process known as K.
