What else can I help you with?
Why are carbs important to the human body?
they digest fats and protect nerve fibers
Where are the enzymes that help break down protein and carbs made?
in the pancreas
What are carbs broken down by?
Saliva and some enzymes in the small intestine.
Do all carbs turn into sugar?
when it is broken down by enzymes..I think that's the gist of it...
How long does bread take to digest?
Different types of complex carbs take different amounts of time to digest. High glycemic index carbs take longer than low glycemic index carbs. Carbs such as basmati rice, nuts, and steel cut oats can take as long as three to four hours to digest.
What are carbs?

So now you may have undetstood how important are carbs. Eat only good carbs which are easy to digest and help your body fight the diseses.
What produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins called?
Amylase for carbs Protease for protein
How long does it take to digest carbohydrates to digest?
There is no exact or direct answer to the question of how long does it take to carbohydrates to digest. There could be variations depending of the type of food we are talking about. Traditionally, there is the distinction between simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates, like those contained by white bread and sugary foods are digested quickly, whereas complex carbs, as whole grain bread can take much longer to digest. This is because of the fiber content in the later, which make them better for digestion and intestinal health.
In which organ is biological activity of an enzyme present?
Enzymes are present throughout the entire body. Without these enzymes, simple chemical reactions would take too long to complete. Enzymes are best seen in the digestive system and in the stomach and small intestine. There, enzymes go to work breaking up nutrients such as proteins, carbs, and lipids.
Does protein help you digest carbs better?
yes they do actually, for more info you can check out any medical magazine
What is found in protein compared to carbohydrate and fat?
Enzymes thaat are sent through Krebs cycle and the ATP synthase are production of ATP. Enzymes are protein so really fats and carbs contain no enzymes
What enzymes digest fat proteins and carbs?
Digestion of carbs begins in the mouth with the enzyme amylase. Digestion of proteins begins in the stomach with hydrochloric acid. Digestion continues in the small intestine. The extremely acidic sludge triggers the pancreas to produce most of the digestive enzymes, which break down both carbs and proteins. Enzymes can also come from digestive bacteria further down the line, or from the food itself, if the food was raw. If the carbs were mono-sugars to begin with, like glucose or fructose, I don't think they need enzymes to be absorbed through the small intestine. Likewise if proteins are single amino acids they are absorbed immediately. Lipids (fats) rely on bile salts, which are formed by the liver and stored in the gall bladder. Once again the gall bladder needs to be triggered by strong enough stomach acid to function. I'm not sure if enzymes are involved with lipids (pre-absoption, I mean). Nucleic acids I'm not sure about. Short answer: the pancreas.
