|
nucleic acids
|
|
|
carbohydrates (starches)

|
|
lipids
|
|
|
large protein complexes
|
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It comprises a small portion of the total amylase excreted, which is mostly made by the pancreas. Amylases digest starch into smaller molecules, ultimately yielding maltose, which in turn is cleaved into two glucose molecules by maltase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pancreatic amylase digests proteins to amino acids.
Detailed explanation-3: -Amylase is responsible for the breaking of the bonds in starches, polysaccharides, and complex carbohydrates into easier to absorb simple sugars.
