Lipase
Pepsin and tripsin
Proteases are enzymes that speed up the breakdown of proteins.
Enzymes in saliva and in the other parts of the digestive system speed the chemical breakdown of food
Salivary enzymes help to break down carbohydrates and fats in food during the process of digestion. They begin the chemical breakdown of food in the mouth, specifically targeting starches and some fats. This process aids in the overall digestion and absorption of nutrients in the body.
The pancreas is the only gland in the that produces and secretes enzymes for the breakdown of all three catagories of foods; proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
Enzymes are chemicals that speed up the breakdown of food into usable forms in our bodies. They help to break down complex molecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into simpler molecules that our cells can absorb and use for energy and other essential functions.
The pancreas is an organ that produces enzymes essential for digesting fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. These enzymes are released into the small intestine to aid in the breakdown of food molecules for absorption.
they speed up the breakdown of food in the stomach and small intestine
Digestive enzymes or hydrolytic enzymes are associated with breaking down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. These enzymes play a crucial role in the digestion process by catalyzing the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into their basic building blocks for absorption in the intestines.
The main function of the duodenum is to break down the food when it enters the small intestine. It uses enzymes to assist with the breakdown of the food.
