Question

Match the organ or gland with the enzymes or secretions it releases. amylase peptidase lipase HCl bile A. pancreas B. small intestine C. stomach (chief cells) D. salivary glands E. liver F. stomach (parietal cells)

Answer 1

Amylase- alpha amylase in salivary glands and pancreatic amylase in pancreas

peptidase - stomach (chief cells)

lipase - pancreas

HCl - (parietal cells)

bile - liver

Step-by-step explanation:

Alpha-amylase which is an enzyme also known as ptyalin is produced in the salivary gland and found in the saliva helping in the first step in the hydrolysis of starch. The leftover starch molecules are further broken down by the pancreatic amylase produced in the pancreas. Peptidase is secreted in the chief cells of the stomach and they catalyze the breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids. Lipase is produced from the pancreas and converts fats to fatty acids. HCl also produced in the stomach aids in the process of digestion in the stomach. Bile produced by the liver is involved in the emulsification of fats.
