Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pancreas produces protein-digesting enzymes in the form of proenzymes, such as trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, and proelastase. These proenzymes are activated in the small intestine to aid in the digestion of proteins. The pancreas also produces other enzymes for digesting carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, but these are not in the form of proenzymes.
