$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Substrate}& \text{Enzyme}& \text{Product}\\ \text{Proteins}& Trypsin& \text{(A).....}\\ \text{Starch}& \text{(B).....}& \text{Maltose}\\ \text{Fats}& \text{Pancreatic lipase}& \text{(C).....}\end{array}$

• A. (A) Amino acids, (B) Bile juice, (C) Fat droplets
• B. (A) Glucose, (B) Pepsin, (C) Glycerol + fatty acids
• C.
  (A) Peptides, (B) Pancreatic amylase, (C) Glycerol + fatty acids
• D. (A) Peptides, (B) Bile juice (C) Glucose

Answer 1

The correct option is C

(A) Peptides, (B) Pancreatic amylase, (C) Glycerol + fatty acids
Pancrease produces pancreatic juice which contains three enzymes - trypsin, amylase and lipase.
The enzyme trypsin is present as trypsinogen (the inactive form) , and it gets converted to active trypsin which breaks down dietary protein chains into peptides, pancreatic amylase acts on starch and breaks it down into maltose and the pancreatic lipase breaks fats into glycerol and fatty acids.​
