Molecules which serve as chemicals to make reaction work- like the breakdown of food molecules?
They are called enzymes. They aren't necessarily considered molecules, but I suppose they are, perhaps very large ones. These enzymes act as a catalyst to speed the decompositions along. Stomach acid helps by oxidising the food as well as creating the environment for the proteins to function.

enzymes
What do you call the molecules which make reactions work such as the breakdown of food molecules?
Those types of molecules are called enzymes.
The breakdown of large food molecules into their basic building blocks by enzymes is called?
phagocytosis
Is a rotting bread a chemical change?
Yes, food rots under action of some enzymes which chemically breakdown food molecules.
What enzymes speed of the breakdown of fats in food?
Lipase
What is the function of doudenum?
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.
What enzymes speeds up the breakdown of proteins in food?
protease
What name is given to the proteins which cause the breakdown of food?
enzymes
What is the name given to the proteins which cause breakdown of food?
enzymes
Why enzyme speeds up the breakdown of proteins in food?
Proteases are enzymes that speed up the breakdown of proteins.
What enzymes speed up the breakdown of protein in food?
Pepsin and tripsin
What enzymes speeds up the breakdown of protein in food?
Pepsin and tripsin
What do the enzymes in the digestive system and hydrolases have in common?
Enzymes in the digestive system speed up the breakdown of food. The process of these enzymes breaking down the food in the digestive tract is known as hydrolases.

Do enzyme supplements have positive effects on digestion?
Yes becoz enzymes help breakdown food
What do enzyme's do?
Enzymes in saliva and in the other parts of the digestive system speed the chemical breakdown of food
