Question

explain the role of the following in the process of digestion in human body a) saliva b) pancreatic amylase and trypsin​

Answer 1

Saliva mixes with food and hep in swallowing and also breaks starch in the food in the mouth itself.

Trypsin is an enzyme that helps us digest protein. In the small intestine, trypsin breaks down proteins, continuing the process of digestion that began in the stomach. It may also be referred to as a proteolytic enzyme, or proteinase. Trypsin is produced by the pancreas in an inactive form called trypsinogen.
