What do the three enzymes of the small intestine do?

The three main enzymes of the small intestine—amylase, lipase, and protease—play crucial roles in digestion. Amylase breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars, lipase digests fats into fatty acids and glycerol, and protease cleaves proteins into amino acids. These enzymes work in conjunction with bile and pancreatic juices to ensure efficient nutrient absorption. Overall, they are essential for the final stages of digestion and nutrient assimilation in the small intestine.
