Question

practice 11
what are the three types of digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas?
pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin
gastric amylase, salivary amylase, and pancreatic amylase
cellulase, amylase, and lactase
sucrase, lactase, and maltase
amylase, lipase, and proteases

Explanation:

• Pepsin: Produced in the stomach, not the pancreas.
• Gastric amylase: Associated with the stomach, not the pancreas. Salivary amylase is from the salivary glands.
• Cellulase: Not a major human digestive enzyme (humans lack significant cellulase activity). Lactase is mainly in the small intestine.
• Sucrase, lactase, maltase: Primarily in the small intestine's brush border.
• Amylase, lipase, proteases: The pancreas secretes pancreatic amylase (digests starch), lipase (digests fats), and proteases (like trypsinogen, which is activated to trypsin in the small intestine and digests proteins).

Answer:

Amylase, lipase, and proteases
