Only the pancreas produces enzymes that break down all categories of digestible foods:
1) along the brush of border enzymes, complete the digestion of starch (pancreatic amylase);
2) carry out about half of protein digestion (via the action of trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, and others);
3) are totally responsible for fat digestion, because the pancreas is essentially the only source of lipases; and
4) digest nucleic acids (nucleases).

What else can I help you with?
What organ produces enzymes capable of digesting?
its your pancreas:D
Organ that produces enzymes?
The pancreas is an organ that produces enzymes essential for digesting fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. These enzymes are released into the small intestine to aid in the breakdown of food molecules for absorption.
What digestive juice contains enzymes capable of digesting all four major foodstuff categories?
Acid or gastric
Which organelles contain digestive enzymes that may degrade different kinds of macro-molecules?
Lysosomes are the organelles which are capable of digesting many kinds of molecules.
What forms of species interaction would cause a plant to evolve defensive chemicals and a herbivore to evolve special enzymes capable of digesting the defensive chemicals?
Predation
What contains protein digesting enzymes?
lysosome
What speed up digesting food?
enzymes
Why must protein-digesting enzymes be stored in the inactive form?
All the digestive enzymes are made of protein, yet some of them are protein-digesting enzymes. If they were all dumped into the same "pot" the protein digesting enzymes would quickly destroy the other enzymes, and the whole process would grind to a halt. The body must separate protein digestion from other processes.
Does bile contain fat digesting enzymes?
Yes.
Which pancreatic enzymes is effective in digesting protein?
Trypsin
What do the enzymes in the gut do?
they helps on digesting the food you eat!
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.
