Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars, such as glucose. It is produced by the salivary glands and pancreas and helps in the digestion of carbohydrates. Gastrin is a hormone that stimulates the production of gastric acid in the stomach, cholecystokinin is a hormone that helps in the digestion of fats and proteins, and trypsin is an enzyme that digests proteins, but none of them help in the digestion of carbohydrates.
