when enzymes in our bodies break down food
Enzymes :U
Enzymes
to begin the digestion of proteins
no, amylase is for carbohydrates. For proteins it's protease :)
Digestion ends in the large intestine.
mechanical digestion - chewing, mixing, churning chemical digestion - breakdown of fat, carbohydrate and proteins by specific enzymes (lipases, amylases, and proteinases respectively)
to digest waist of course
true
mouth, proteins, lipides...
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.
Mechanical digestion, which is accomplished by chewing, and the phsyical movements of the stomach. More specifically, chemical digestion which is accomplished by the action of acids in the stomach and digestive enzymes to break larger, more complex carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins into smaller molecules so they may be more readily absorbed abd used by the body.
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are called biological catalysts as well. Examples include Protease(speeds up digestion of proteins), Lipase(digestion of fats), Cellulase(digestion of cellulose),etc.
Trypsin completes the digestion of proteins. Pepsin in the stomach starts the digestion of proteins.
The main chemical activity of the stomach is digestion of the proteins. There are a number of enzymes and hormones secreted in the stomach to aid this process.
