Carbohydrates are initially broken down in your mouth by your saliva. A chemical called salivary amalyase begins to break down the carbohydrates into simple sugars. If you chew up a piece of bread and keep it under your tongue for a while, it will begin to taste sweet, like sugar because it is being broken down.

Enzyme that breaks down Protein?
The general name for these enzymes is proteases
What is used in break down of fats and contains the enzyme catalase?
Smooth ER
Without digestive enzymes the meal is useless to the body is this statement valid?
Yes. In order for the body to use food, the food must be broken down into it's most basic elements. Complex carbohydrates are broken into simple carbohydrates, proteins are broken down into amino acids and fats are broken down into fatty acids. Some of this break down takes place because of the acids in your stomach, but enzymes in the stomach and mouth are required to further dismantle food into usable nutreints.
What do you use managanese ore for?
It helps your body break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins
What is C9H17NO3?

What does pancreatic acid do?
Pancreatic fluids break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins in the chyme.
Why are fats so difficult for the body to breakdown?
fats are more complex than other forms of carbohydrates so it take more energy for the body to break them down, so generally if it doesn't need to it doesn't break them down if your body needs the energy it will break down the fats
Why are lipids harder to break down than carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are broken down in digestion. Carbohydrates are easier to break down because carbohydrates are soluble in water, But on the other hand Lipids are much harder to break down because Lipids (fats) come in the form grease and oil. Grease is solid at room temperature, While oil is liquid. Fats require special digestive action before absorption because the end products must be carried away in a water medium (Blood and Lymph) in which fats are not soluble.
What are three digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates fats and proteins?
carbohydrase lipase and protease amylase
What are pancreatic proteases?
The pancreas produced many different juices, most of them are used in the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
What is needed to break fats down?
Enzymes are needed to break fats down.
How much more energy does fat supply than carbohydrates?
Fats actually contain a lot more energy than carbohydrates. The reason carbohydrates are used for energy before fats is because carbohydrates are easier to break down; reactions involving carbohydrates generally have a lower activation energy. This means that less energy is used to release the energy in the bonds of the carbohydrates than fats. In other words, although fats contain more energy, it is more efficient for the body to break down carbohydrates than fats. Once carbohydrate supplies diminish, fat stores can be broken down to use for energy, but doing so is not the body's favorite thing to do.
Which enzyme the hydrolyzes protein?
Amylase hydrolyzes carbohydrates, lipases breakdown lipids/fats, and proteases break down protein.
What are fats proteins and carbohydrates broken down into?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates are broken down into sugars and fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
