write down the functions of :- mucus,Pepsin,salivary amylase, lipase,pancreatic amylase.
Answers
Answer: Pepsin
⇒Pepsin is secreted by gastric glands which helps in the digestion of proteins.
⇒Mucus is secreted by gastric glands which helps in protecting the inner lining of stomach from hydrochloric acid which is another secretion of gastric glands.
⇒ Trypsin, lipase and pancreatic amylase is secreted by pancreas.
Mucus is a layer which protects HCL from reaction to stomach's layer
Pepsin is a type of gastric juice which helps in breakdown of proteins
Salivary amylase is an enzyme in the mouth that initiates the digestion of carbohydrates in the form of starches by catalyzing the hydrolysis of polysaccharides into disaccharides.
lipase is any enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats. Lipases are a subclass of the esterases. Lipases perform essential roles in digestion, transport and processing of dietary lipids in most, if not all, living organisms. Genes encoding lipases are even present in certain viruses.
