Answer 2

The Pancreas (main digestive gland)

It secretes the following enzymes:

    * Trypsin, is a peptidase, that breaks down peptides in the small intestine.

    * Chymotrypsin, also a peptidase

    * Steapsin, degrades triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol.

    * Carboxypeptidase, splits peptide fragments into individual amino acids. It is a protease.

    * Several elastases that degrade the protein elastin and some other proteins.

    * Several nucleases that degrade nucleic acids, like DNAase and RNAase

    * Pancreatic amylase that, besides starch, glycogen and cellulose, degrades most other carbohydrates.

    * Bile from the liver, which emulsifies fat, allowing more efficient use of lipases in the duodenum; in converting lipids to their component fatty acid and glycerol molecules
