The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "A pancreatic secretion is," we need to identify which of the provided options is a secretion from the pancreas. Let's analyze the options step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pancreatic Secretions**: The pancreas produces a variety of digestive enzymes that are secreted into the small intestine to aid in digestion. These enzymes include amylase, lipase, proteases (like trypsin and chymotrypsin), and nucleases. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Dextrin**: This is a product of starch digestion and is not a secretion of the pancreas. It is formed in the digestive process but is not an enzyme secreted by the pancreas. - **Pepsin**: This enzyme is produced in the stomach and is involved in protein digestion. It is not secreted by the pancreas. - **Dipeptides**: These are formed from the digestion of proteins and are found in the intestines, not secreted by the pancreas. - **Amylase**: This is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates (specifically starch) into sugars. It is secreted by the pancreas as part of pancreatic juice. 3. **Conclusion**: After evaluating the options, the correct answer is **amylase**, as it is indeed a pancreatic secretion. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **amylase**. ---
