Final answer:
Pancreatic digestive enzymes include amylase, which breaks down starch into maltose, and lipase, which converts fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Other pancreatic enzymes include trypsin and chymotrypsin for proteins and pancreatic nuclease for nucleic acids. Maltase, found in the small intestine, not the pancreas, breaks maltose into glucose.
Step-by-step explanation:
The digestive enzymes of the pancreas include amylase, which helps to digest starch and other carbohydrates, by breaking them down into maltose. Another pancreatic enzyme is lipase, which helps in the digestion of fats (lipids), breaking them down into fatty acids and glycerol. Additionally, although not mentioned in the original question, the pancreas secretes trypsin and chymotrypsin, which are involved in protein digestion, and pancreatic nuclease for the digestion of nucleic acids.
The substrates and products of these enzymes are as follows: Amylase acts on starch, converting it to maltose. Lipase acts on fats, breaking them down into fatty acids and glycerol. Maltase, another enzyme although not pancreatic but present in the small intestine's brush border, works on maltose, a product of amylase action, and breaks it down into glucose units. To answer the student's question, the correct option is a) Amylase: Starch, Maltase: Glucose, Lipase: Fatty acids and glycerol.
