B)the action of trypsin on protein

D)the action of amylase on starch

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile salts are not enzymes and therefore do not perform chemical digestion. Instead, they emulsify fats, breaking them down into smaller droplets that can be acted on by lipase enzymes. The other options (lipase on fats, trypsin on protein, amylase on starch) are all examples of chemical digestion where enzymes break down large molecules into smaller ones.
