  1. Bilirubin and biliverdin → (ii) Bile Bilirubin and biliverdin are the two bile pigments, formed from the breakdown of haemoglobin of worn-out red blood cells in the liver, and are excreted as components of bile.
  2. Hydrolysis of starch → (iv) Amylases Starch, a polysaccharide, is broken down into the disaccharide maltose by amylase enzymes — salivary amylase (ptyalin) begins the job in the mouth, and pancreatic amylase completes it in the small intestine.
  3. Digestion of fat → (iii) Lipases Triglycerides (fats) are hydrolysed into fatty acids, glycerol, and mono-/di-glycerides by lipase enzymes acting at different points in the gut — gastric lipase (weakly, in the stomach), pancreatic lipase and intestinal lipase (mainly in the small intestine, after bile-salt emulsification).
  4. Salivary gland → (i) Parotid Of the three pairs of salivary glands in humans (parotid, sub-maxillary/submandibular, and sublingual), the parotid is the largest, located just below and in front of each ear.
    ✓Final answer

    (a)–(ii) Bile (b)–(iv) Amylases (c)–(iii) Lipases (d)–(i) Parotid
