Question

Digestion of proteins and carbohydrates is affected if the pancreatic
duct is blocked. give reason.​

Answer 1

Pancreatic duct carries pancreatic juice secreted digestion , lipase for fat digestion, trypsin. If there is a blockage in the pancreatic duct, the juice won't reach the intestine. As a result protein and carbohydrate digestion can't take place without the enzymes. The food particles will remain undigested in the intestine.

by pancreas to the intestine for digestion of food. Pancreatic juice contains various pancreatic enzymes like amylase for carbohydrate.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Digestion of protein is completed in the small intestine by the pancreatic enzymes trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase. If there is a blockade of the pancreatic duct these enzymes will not be secreted and complete digestion of proteins will not occur. Enzyme pancreatic amylase from the pancreas helps in the digestion of starch, it breaks the polysaccharide down into disaccharides. The pancreas also secretes enzymes lactase, sucrase and maltase, which break down the disaccharides into monosaccharides. So, blockade of the pancreatic duct will also cause disruption of the digestion of carbohydrates by preventing their breakdown into monosaccharides.
