The pancreas produces three digestive enzymes: Amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple carbohydrates (sugars), trypsin breaks down proteins into amino acids, and lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids and monoglycerides. How did adding the pancreas affect sugar production and what evidence is there for this

Answer:

It helped us store and breaking down carbohydrates.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pancreas helps in the deconstruction or breaking down of the three basic nutrient groups, carbohydrates, proteins and fats, when the body breaks down these components its able to create new cells or to give power to the muscles.

The body absorbs the nutrients from food, and with the addition of the pancreas the human body was able to break down these nutrients even more and store them and take better advantage of them.
