Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trypsin and chymotrypsin are proteases (enzymes that break down proteins) produced by the pancreas and released into the small intestine to aid in protein digestion. Amylases are responsible for digesting carbohydrates, lipases digest fats, bile acids aid in fat digestion and absorption, and disaccharidases break down disaccharides into monosaccharides.
