an enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction.
they contain enzymes that break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.
By enzymes, The way in which enzymes actually work is extremely complicated so we use the models to think about them. A good model tries to represent the known facts about something. A model about digestive enzymes needs to try to represent these facts: · Enzymes turn large molecules into smaller ones. · Enzymes do not get used up as they carry out their tasks. · Enzymes change shape as they work. · Each enzyme only works on one particular type of molecule.
Your brain does the digesting of facts with commonsensides (If it's fat your thinking of then it's a group of enzymes called lipases but also bile from your liver and gall bladder help by emulsifying the fats and oils (emulsify turns it into little droplets)
enzymes
Proteins are not enzymes. Enzymes are protein,tertiary proteins
The shape of the enzyme allows it to only accept certain substrates. For example, if you are lactose intolerable you cannot have lactose (a sugar) due to the fact that you do not have lactase (an enzyme) to break the lactose down. Enzymes, themselves, do not, split chemicals the split organic substrates such as carbohydrates, lipids (fats) and proteins.
Proteins that act as biological catalyst are called enzymes.
The only enzymes I am aware of in saliva are Amylase enzymes. These enzymes break down Carbohydrates. Hope this helps!

Every organism has enzymes
No, enzymes are proteins.
Enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes.
