Question

Explain the role of pancreatic juice in the digestion of proteins and carbohydrates??

Answer 1

Hii.. Here is your answer..

The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains enzymes like trypsin and lipase, amylase.,etc.
These enzymes play an important role in digestion of proteins and carbohydrates.

= Trypsin=>is an enzyme secreated by pancreas which acts upon protein in alkaline medium and help to digest protein into amino acids.
= Amylase=> It helps in breaking down the carbohydrates or starch and change them into glucose.

Answer 2

The role of pancreatic juice in the digestion of proteins and carbohydrates is explained below:

• Food from the oesophagus is passed to the pancreas from the stomach.
• Digested food from the stomach is known as chyme.
• The pancreas secretes many enzymes such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase and amylase.
• Digestion of carbohydrates is performed by amylase while trypsin and chymotrypsin digest proteins.
• Trypsin and chymotrypsin convert proteins into amino acids and act in the small intestine.
• Amylase converts carbohydrates into glucose.
