Solution

The pancreas secretes pancreatic juices containing the enzymes like amylase, lipase and a proenzyme called trypsinogen.
Amylase is responsible for the digestion of carbohydrates while lipase helps with the digestion of lipids in the small intestine. The proenzyme trypsinogen is converted to an active enzyme trypsin, which digests the proteins to small peptides and amino acids.

Hence, the given statement is B. False.
