Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Complex carbohydrates are broken down by amylase, which is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas and found in saliva. Trypsin is an enzyme that helps digest proteins, gastrin is a hormone produced by the stomach that stimulates the production of stomach acid, and cholecystokinin is a hormone that regulates the release of bile and pancreatic enzymes. None of these enzymes are specifically involved in digesting complex carbohydrates.
