It generally has a short, often twisted trunk and spreading branches. A 10-year-old tree will generally be around 5 m (16 ft) tall. The bark is dark in color, smooth, later scaly with ridges somewhat apparent, sometimes with maroon patches.
Digestive Enzymes Produced by the Pancreas. Pancreatic enzymes are essential for digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Although not as well known as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, the pancreas is an integral part of the digestive system.It is also one of the most protected organs in your body.he pancreas also produces pancreatic lipase, an enzyme essential for the digestion of dietary fat. However, the action of pancreatic lipase is dependent on the release of bile from the liver. Bile emulsifies fat, suspending it as small droplets in the water-based digestive juices of the small intestine.
Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are digested in the mouth, stomach and small intestine. Carbohydrase enzymes break down starch into sugars. The saliva in your mouth contains amylase, which is another starch digesting enzyme.roteins. Proteins are digested in the stomach and small intestine. Protease enzymes break down proteins into amino acids. Digestion of proteins in the stomach is helped by stomach acid, which is strong hydrochloric acid. This also kills harmful micro-organisms that may be in the food.
