Enzyme or Catalysts
There are two. Salivary amylase is an enzyme that begins the enzymatic breakdown of starches and lingual lipase which begins the enzymatic breakdown of lipids.
Enzymes are catalysts.
Lipase catalyzes the break down of lipids.
Lipids are digested by lipases.A lipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of a lipid (triglyceride) molecule into one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acid.
Amylase hydrolyzes carbohydrates, lipases breakdown lipids/fats, and proteases break down protein.
Catalysts are chemicals that can speed up a reaction but don't actually get used up themselves. Catalysts that slow reactions down are called negative catalysts or inhibitors. Manganese dioxide is a catalyst that speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. When a catalyst acts in a living organism it is called an enzyme. Human saliva has the enzyme amylasewhich breaks down carbohydrates into glucose.
