Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of pancreatic amylase: Pancreatic amylase is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas that specifically catalyzes the breakdown of carbohydrates, particularly polysaccharides like starch, into smaller sugar molecules.

Identify the substrate: The substrate for pancreatic amylase is starch, a polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds.

Determine the product: Pancreatic amylase hydrolyzes starch into maltose, which is a disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecules linked together.

Eliminate incorrect options: Lipids, sucrose, and proteins are not substrates for pancreatic amylase. Lipids are broken down by lipases, sucrose by sucrase, and proteins by proteases.

Match the correct answer: Based on the substrate (starch) and product (maltose), the correct answer is 'starch; maltose'.
