The lysosomes in a cell contain digestive enzyme that breaks down food, waste products, and pathogens. They can breakdown macromolecules like proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. They also break down old organelles and unneeded cell parts. When a cell takes in bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens, lysosomes break them down.
Yes. The enzymes are: - maltase which breaks down maltose to glucose; - lactase which breaks down lactose to glucose and galactose - erepsin which breaks down peptones to amino acids - lipase which breaks down fats to fatty acids and glycerol. :D
Important intestinal enzymes include amylase, which breaks down carbohydrates; protease, which breaks down proteins; and lipase, which breaks down fats. These enzymes help to digest food in the small intestine, allowing nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
The organelle that breaks down food into molecules the cell can use is the lysosome. It contains enzymes that break down large molecules into smaller components that can be used by the cell for energy or building materials.
Saliva keep your mouth from drying out, it also contains enzymes, mainly Carbohyrase enzymes, these enzymes as you can probably guess helps digest the carbohydrates. I have aslo heard that saliva allows you to taste foods as well as your taste buds.

Amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose, a type of sugar. It is found in saliva in the mouth and in the pancreas.

Saliva (salivary glands) and the pancreas both contain the enzyme (amylase) that breaks starches down into simple sugars.
All food is digested in the stomach. The mouth contains enzymes which breaks the food down, but digestion occurs in the stomach and intestines.

pancrease releases three different enzymes. these are: Proteases - breaks down proteins Amylase - breaks down carbs lipase - breaks down fats
