Detailed explanation-1: -Lipase is an enzyme the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced in the pancreas, mouth, and stomach.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pancreatic juice has three pro-enzymes, i.e., trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, and procarboxypeptidase. These help in the digestion of starch, protein, fats, and nucleic acid. It also has amylase and lipase. Trypsin works on proteins, amylase works on carbohydrates and lipase works on fats.
Detailed explanation-3: -The pancreas contains exocrine glands that produce enzymes important to digestion. These enzymes include trypsin and chymotrypsin to digest proteins; amylase for the digestion of carbohydrates; and lipase to break down fats.
