Question

The pancreas secretes enzymes such as (i) trypsinogen, which is converted into active trypsin by enterokinase, (ii) chymotrypsinogen, an inactive precursor activated by trypsin, and (iii) procarboxypeptidases, which are transformed into carboxypeptidases by trypsin. Additionally, it produces hormones like (a) insulin and (b) glucagon that regulate blood sugar levels.

Accepted Answer

Correct. The statement is accurate: the pancreas releases inactive digestive enzyme precursors that are activated in the small intestine, and it also secretes insulin and glucagon. These hormones are produced by the endocrine pancreas and help regulate blood glucose.
