|
|
Digesting starch, triglycerides, phospholipids, and proteins into smaller units

Passing from the small intestine to the the large intestine to digest food later

Detailed explanation-1: -The pancreas produces amylase, which breaks down alpha glycosidic linkages found in starch and glycogen. The pancreas also produces lipase, which breaks down the triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol.
Detailed explanation-2: -During digestion, your pancreas makes pancreatic juices called enzymes. These enzymes break down sugars, fats, and starches. Your pancreas also helps your digestive system by making hormones.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -proteolytic enzyme, also called protease, proteinase, or peptidase, any of a group of enzymes that break the long chainlike molecules of proteins into shorter fragments (peptides) and eventually into their components, amino acids.
