Final answer:
The statement about pancreatic enzymes being excreted in active form is false as they are secreted in an inactive form to avoid self-digestion and activated in the duodenum.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that pancreatic enzymes are excreted in active form is false. The pancreas produces protein-digesting enzymes as inactive precursors to prevent self-digestion. These enzymes are later activated in the duodenum, where enteropeptidase converts trypsinogen to trypsin. Trypsin then activates other enzymes such as procarboxypeptidase and chymotrypsinogen into their active forms, carboxypeptidase, and chymotrypsin.
However, enzymes like pancreatic amylase, lipase, and nuclease, which digest starch, fat, and nucleic acids respectively, are secreted in their active forms because these do not harm the pancreas.
