Answer 2

Name of the organ where the following enzymes are secreted in human digestive system along with their functions is as follows:

1. Enzyme: Pepsin

Area of Secretion: Stomach

Function: It is involved in digestion of protein into amino acids.

2. Enzymes:  Ptyalin

Area of Secretion: Salivary glands

Function: Ptyalin secreted in mouth achieves assimilation of starch in the mouth itself. It hydrolyzes starch into disaccharides like maltose and isomaltose. Ptyalin hydrolyzes at around 30 percent of starch in the mouth itself.
