Digestive enzymes break down macromolecules into smaller, more soluble products of digestion. Proteases, lipases, amylase are some of these enzymes that digest particular substrates. Enzymes are catalysts, so without them, nutrients would not be digested quick enough for us to survive. They are quite literally, the difference between life and death.
