Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of the pancreas in enzyme production. The pancreas is responsible for producing enzymes that aid in digestion, including trypsin, lipase, and amylase.
Identify the enzymes listed in the problem: Trypsin, Pepsin, Lipase, and Amylase.
Recall the function of each enzyme: Trypsin helps break down proteins, Lipase aids in fat digestion, and Amylase assists in carbohydrate digestion.
Recognize that Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins in the stomach, not the pancreas. It is produced by the gastric glands in the stomach lining.
Conclude that Pepsin is the enzyme not produced by the pancreas, as it is associated with the stomach's digestive processes.
