BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Trypsin is a serine protease of the digestive system produced in the pancreas as an inactive precursor, trypsinogen. It is then secreted into the small intestine, where enterokinase proteolytic cleavage activates it into trypsin. The resulting active trypsin is able to activate more trypsinogens by autocatalysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amylase. This enzyme helps break down starches into sugar, which your body can use for energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteases Digestion of proteins is initiated by pepsin in the stomach, but the bulk of protein digestion is due to the pancreatic proteases. Several proteases are synthesized in the pancreas and secreted into the lumen of the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your pancreas releases the following enzymes: Lipase: Works with bile (a fluid produced by the liver) to break down fats. Amylase: Breaks down carbohydrates for energy. Protease: Breaks down proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Protein and amino acids Enterokinase (also known as enteropeptidase) is an enzyme secreted from the brush border of the small intestine, also in response to secretin and CCK.
