These are three enzymes or digestion- I hope this helps:) Digestive Enzymes- Peptidases- break down proteins. Amylases- break down Carbs. Disaccharidases- break down disaccharides(sugars) into monosaccharides.

∙ 10y agoEnzymes help to break down substances. In digestion, they break down food molecules, making it easier for the body to absorb nutrients.
I wikied enzymes, to be more sure of how to answer this question.
And I found this that might be helpful:
"Enzymes can be regulated through post-translational modification. ... example of post-translational modification is the cleavage of the polypeptide chain. Chymotrypsin, a digestive protease, is produced in inactive form as chymotrypsinogen in the pancreas and transported in this form to the stomach where it is activated. This stops the enzyme from digesting the pancreas or other tissues before it enters the gut. This type of inactive precursor to an enzyme is known as a zymogen.
Hope you know a bit more about the function enzymes have in the digestion process.
they assure thst digestion occurs within hours instead of days

∙ 9y agoThe enzymes that are know to digest carbohydrates are salivary amylase. These enzymes are found directly on a person's tongue.

How does the pancreas maintain homeostasis?
The Pancreas can maitain homeostasis in 2 ways: 1)Produces enzymes in order to digest carbohydrates(glucose), prootiens, and fats. 2)Raises the pH level to 7.
What enzymes break down carbohydrates?
Amylases.
Are enzymes found in proteins carbohydrates lipids or nucleic acids?
Enzymes for digesting lipids, or fats, are called lipases. Enzymes for digesting proteins are called proteases. Enzymes for digesting carbohydrates are called amylases. Note that there are many different types of each of the above enzymes.
When does carbohydrates digestion begin?
As soon as you put the food in your mouth. Your saliva has amylase in it which is a carbohydrase, ie, it breaks down complicated carbohydrates, such as starch, into simple sugars, such as glucose.
Which vesicle contains enzymes that digest fatty acids and amino acids?
Exosomes
What do pancreatic enzymes digest?
The pancreatic enzymes amylase, trypsin and lipase digest proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates and starches.
How do Enzymes Digest?
Enzymes help break down protiens and carbohydrates into smaller proportions preventing undigested food from making it into the colon.
What do proteins digest?
Proteins that carry out enzymatic activity are known as enzymes. Enzymes can catalyze the conversion of substrate into the product. In digestion hydrolytic enzymes such as proteases, lipases, glycosidases such as amylase digest proteins, lipases, and carbohydrates respectively.
What condition do beans cause because you lack the enzymes to digest such carbohydrates as raffinose and stachyose?
Flatulence
What secretes enzymes that digest carbohydrates proteins lipids and nucleic acids?
Proteins are digested by proteases and cabohydratases digest carbohydrase (amylase, galactosidase, cellulase etc.)
What substances makes the pancreatic juice alkaline?
Pancreatic juice contains enzymes that digest carbohydrates,fats, nucleic acids,and proteins.
How can a patient without pancreas get the enzymes required?
The three types of digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas are proteolytic enzymes which are responsible for the digestion of proteins, lipases, which digest fats and amylases which digest dietary carbohydrates. As well as the digestive enzymes, Insulin and Glucagon are antagonists in control of blood sugar levels an thus the levels of sugar available to the cells.
What organ produces enzymes that break down fats proteins and carbohydrates?
The gallbladder, which is an accessory organ of the small intestines, makes bile which is secreted into the small intestine and emulsifies (breaks down) fats.
What enzymes are secreted in an earthworm's digestive tract?
ANSWERAnimals digest their food. The proteins carbohydrates and fat in food. are broken down into simple molecules.
How enzyme break up food?
Enzymes are biocatalyst which are involved in the biochemical reactions to digest the food particles (nutrients) proteins, carbohydrates, lipids by hydrolysis(variety of enzymes specific for a particular substrate)
Pancreatic fluid contains enzymes that can digest all four types of macromolecules carbohydrates lipids proteins and nucleic acids Into which organ does the pancreas secrete those enzymes?
The pancreas secretes enzymes into organ 4, the small intestine.
Enzymes produced by the small intestine?
The small intestine produces and secretes many enzymes, as it is here where digestion mainly occurs. These enzymes include:lipase to break down fat molecules into glycerol and fatty acidsCarbohydrase - digest carbohydrates into simpler sugars. There are different carbohydrates, including, maltose, sucrose and starch; each one has a separate enzyme to break it down.proteases digest proteins into amino acids.The enzymes mentioned above are actually produced by the pancreas.
