Pancreas
Generally speaking, there are three classes of enzyme in our digestive system. They are listed below, alongside the molecules they break down.Lipase - lipidsCarbohydrase - carbohydratesProteases - proteins
The pancreas is a digestive organ in the abdomen that lies just below the stomach. Its primary job is to produce enzymes required for the digestion and absorption of food. Enzymes secreted include lipases that digest fat, proteases which digest proteins, and amylases which digest starch molecules.

amylases, proteinases, lipases...
Digestive enzymes are made in the pancreas, not the small intestine. The majority of enzymes are made in the pancreas and the small intestine. These include the carbohydrases, lipases and proteases which break down all the major molecules. Enzymes are also secreted in the mouth and stomach, altough fewer than in the pancreas / intestine.
Yes. The pancreas is a digestive organ in the abdomen that lies just below the stomach. Its primary job is to produce enzymes required for the digestion and absorption of food. Enzymes secreted include lipases that digest fat, proteases which digest proteins, and amylases which digest starch molecules.
There are many different ones: amylases digest starches, proteases digest proteins, lipases digest fats, etc. in each of the main categories there are many different enzymes (biocatalysts) that act on specific things in that nutrient category.
saliva is secreted in the mouth contains salivary amylase and lysozyme in the stomach the gastric glands secrete gastric juice-pepsin ,renin ,and ,lipase in the small intestine the pancreatic juice -( trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen,procarboxypeptidases amylases, lipases, and nucleases )is secretedthe goblet cells sectrete mucus and the intestinal juice (succus entericus )
Amylase hydrolyzes carbohydrates, lipases breakdown lipids/fats, and proteases break down protein.
The gallbladder, which is an accessory organ of the small intestines, makes bile which is secreted into the small intestine and emulsifies (breaks down) fats.
Enzymes for digesting lipids, or fats, are called lipases. Enzymes for digesting proteins are called proteases. Enzymes for digesting carbohydrates are called amylases. Note that there are many different types of each of the above enzymes.
The answer would be "Enzymes".The key digesting enzymes include lipases (for lipids), proteases (for proteins). Other enzymes important is amylases, which digest certain types of sugars.
