Answer 1

Trypsin is secreted by the intestine while pepsin is secreted by the gastric glands in the stomach

Saivary amylase is secreted by the salivary glands whereas pancreatic amylase is secreted by the pancreas

Answer 2

Heya!!!☺

a)Pepsin:

1. It is secreted from the gastric glands of stomach.

2. It is secreted in inactive form called pepsinogen.

3. It acts on protein and converts them into proteoses and peptones.

4. It catalyses in acidic medium.

Trypsin:

1. It is secreted from the exocrine pancreas.

2. It is secreted in inactive form called trypsinogen.

3. It acts on proteoses and peptones and converts them into polypeptides.

4. It catalyses in alkaline medium.


b)<>Salivary amylase is produced in the salivary glands and digestion of simple carbohydrates starts in the mouth.

<>Pancreatic amylase is produced in the pancreas, acting more on complex carbohydrates.
