Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The enzyme secreted by the pancreas that breaks down proteins
A
Amylase
B
Protease
C
Lipase
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteases secreted by the pancreas are generally divided into two groups-the endopeptidases and the exopeptidases (Figure 11). All are stored and secreted from the pancreas as inactive proforms that are activated in the duodenum by trypsin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteolytic enzymes break down proteins in the body or on the skin. This might help with digestion or with the breakdown of proteins involved in swelling and pain. Some proteolytic enzymes that may be found in supplements include bromelain, chymotrypsin, ficin, papain, serrapeptase, and trypsin.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main digestive enzymes made in the pancreas include: Amylase (made in the mouth and pancreas; breaks down complex carbohydrates) Lipase (made in the pancreas; breaks down fats) Protease (made in the pancreas; breaks down proteins)

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes produced and secreted by the pancreas which aid in the proteolysis of proteins in the digestive tract.

Detailed explanation-5: -Proteases are enzymes that break the peptide bonds of proteins; they are divided into acid, neutral, and alkaline proteases. These enzymes can be obtained from plants, animals, and microorganisms in several conditions, such as high salt concentrations.
