Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pancreas. Your pancreas makes a digestive juice that has enzymes that break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The pancreas delivers the digestive juice to the small intestine through small tubes called ducts.

Detailed explanation-2: -During digestion, your pancreas makes pancreatic juices called enzymes. These enzymes break down sugars, fats, proteins, and starches. Your pancreas also helps your digestive system by making hormones. These are chemical messengers that travel through your blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pancreatic juice consists of alkaline (chiefly bicarbonate) fluid and enzymes; 200–800 mL is produced each day. The enzymes, trypsin, lipase, and amylase are essential for digestion of most of the protein, fat, and carbohydrate in the meal.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pancreatic enzyme that is involved in the digestion of protein is trypsin. Trypsin acts on complex protein molecules and converts those into smaller peptides.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lipase. This enzyme works together with bile, which your liver produces, to break down fat in your diet. Protease. This enzyme breaks down proteins in your diet. Amylase. This enzyme helps break down starches into sugar, which your body can use for energy.
