What breaks down food into simple substances?
Enzymes are used to break down foods. Some enzymes are: Amylase for carbohydrates. Protease for proteins. Lipase for fats.
what enzyme is best for quick weight loss?
Digestive enzymes are important in breaking down foods so that they can be easily absorbed or eliminated by the body. Here these are major enzymes those are playing a vital role in weight loss. 1. Amylase 2. Cellulase 3. Lipase 4. Lactase 5. Maltase 6. Sucrase 7. Protease
What foods contain fatty acids?
None - because fatty acids (and glycerol) are the product of foods containing fat when they have been digested by the lipase enzyme.
What food types are broken down by these enzymes lipase?
Lipase breaks down dietary fats.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of protein foods?
The enzyme which breaks down proteins (polypeptides) is called protease.
What enzymes speed up the breakdown of proteins in foods?
protease
What enzymes speeds up the breakdown of proteins in foods?
protease
What do enxymes react upon?
Enzymes react upon PROTIENS, CARBOHYDRATES and FATS mostly. There are three enzymes dispersed from the PANCREAS; Lipase which digests fats and breaks them down so there is a lesser amount of fat in your blood stream, Amylase (is also the enzyme in human saliva) digests carbohydrates found in foods such as potatoes and pasta and Protease which is found in meats and then broken down and used as building blocks to build and maintain the bodies' tissues.

How salivary amylase works on foods like crackers?
On foods like crackers which are dry, salivary amylase helps moisten the food so it is easier to chew and swallow and to prevent scratching the throat.
Who secrets amylase?
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar. Amylase is present in human saliva, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. Foods that contain much starch but little sugar, such as rice and potato, taste slightly sweet as they are chewed because amylase turns some of their starch into sugar in the mouth. Thepancreas also makes amylase (alpha amylase) to hydrolyse dietary starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides which are converted by other enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy. Plants and some bacteria also produce amylase. As diastase, amylase was the first enzyme to be discovered and isolated (by Anselme Payen in 1833).[1]
Short-chain triglycerides found in foods such as butterfat molecules in milk are split by a specific enzyme in preparation for absorption what enzymes is responsible?
lipase enzyme
