Question

A proenzyme secreted by the pancreas is
A) trypsinogen.
B) amylase.
C) carboxypeptidase.
D) lipase.
E) bile

Accepted Answer

Trypsinogen is a proenzyme secreted by the pancreas, which is converted into trypsin, an enzyme that helps in the digestion of proteins. Amylase and lipase are also enzymes secreted by the pancreas, but they are not proenzymes. Carboxypeptidase is also an enzyme that helps in protein digestion, but it is secreted by the pancreas in an active form. Bile is not a proenzyme secreted by the pancreas, but by the liver.
