People with cystic fibrosis may be unable to digest their food fully because of thick sticky mucus. This prevents the secretion of pancreatic juices. Doctors sometimes prescribe enzyme supplement medication to improve digestion.

1 amylase

2 lipase

3 protease

1. Which of the following enzymes should be included in the medication?
  • 1
    1

    Explanation

    The correct answer is H.

    The pancreatic juices contain trypsins (proteases which digest protein), amylase (which digests starch) and lipase (which digests fats).

    Therefore, all three of the enzymes stated in the question should be included in the medication.
