The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the listed enzymes are proteolytic enzymes present in pancreatic juice, we can analyze each option: 1. **Pepsin**: This enzyme is primarily found in the stomach and is responsible for breaking down proteins into peptides. It is not present in pancreatic juice. 2. **Elastase**: This is a proteolytic enzyme produced by the pancreas and is indeed present in pancreatic juice. It breaks down elastin and other proteins. 3. **Salivary amylase**: This enzyme is found in saliva and is responsible for the digestion of carbohydrates (specifically starch). It is not a proteolytic enzyme and is not present in pancreatic juice. 4. **Chymotrypsin**: This is another proteolytic enzyme produced by the pancreas. It plays a significant role in protein digestion in the small intestine and is present in pancreatic juice. Based on this analysis, the proteolytic enzymes present in pancreatic juice are **Elastase** and **Chymotrypsin**. ### Final Answer: The correct options are (2) Elastase and (4) Chymotrypsin. ---
