Solution
First of all it should be lipase and trypsin.
Lipase is a fat digestive enzyme. It converts fats into monoglycerides and fatty acids. In this way fats can be absorbed in the body. Trypsin acts on proteins and converts proteins into small peptides which are further broken down to dipeptides and amino acids by another set of enzymes. Trypsin also activates proenzymes such as chymotrypsinogen into chymotrypsin and procarboxypeptidase into carboxypeptidase.
