Digestive enzymes are diverse and are found in the saliva secreted by the salivary glands, in the stomach secreted by cells lining the stomach, in the pancreatic juice secreted by pancreatic exocrine cells, and in the intestinal (small and large) secretions, or as part of the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.

Digestive enzymes are classified based on their target substrates:

1.proteases and peptidases split proteins into small peptides and amino acids.

2.lipases split fat into three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule.

3.carbohydrases split carbohydrates such as starch and sugars into simple sugars such as glucose.

4.nucleases split nucleic acids into nucleotides.

What is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms?

It's the chemical breakdown of food into simpler compounds. Proteins are broken down to amino acids, carbohydrates are broken down to simple sugars, and fats are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol. Chemical digestion does begin in the mouth. Salivary amylase starts hydrolyzing starch the second you put in into your mouth. BUT, the vast majority of chemical digestion takes place in the duodenum and jejunum portions of the small intestine.

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.
