The correct function of pancreatic juice is a. trypsin digests proteins and lipase digests carbohydrates.
Explanation:
Trypsin: This enzyme specifically breaks down proteins into smaller peptides.
Lipase: This enzyme is responsible for the digestion of fats, specifically breaking down emulsified fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
Why other options are incorrect:
b. trypsin digests emulsified fats and lipase proteins: Lipase digests fats, not emulsified fats. Trypsin digests proteins, not lipase.
c. trypsin and lipase digest fats: While both trypsin and lipase are involved in digestion, lipase specifically digests fats, not trypsin. Trypsin digests proteins.
d. trypsin digests proteins and lipase emulsified fats: Lipase digests fats, not emulsified fats.
