Solution

The correct answers are:

  • Bile
  • Pancreatic lipase

Explanation:

Fat-soluble vitamins require certain substances in the body to be adequately absorbed.

  1. Bile: Produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, bile helps to emulsify fats in the small intestine, increasing the surface area for enzymes to work on and aiding in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

  2. Pancreatic lipase: This is an enzyme produced by the pancreas that breaks down dietary fats into smaller molecules (fatty acids and monoglycerides), which can be easily absorbed in the small intestine.

Amylase and gastrin are not directly involved in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates, not fats. Gastrin is a hormone that stimulates the production of gastric acid, which helps in protein digestion.
