Enzyme in small intestine?

There are enzymes in the small intestine to speed up break down of nutrients (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates) that pass through the small intestine. The small intestine is where most of the chemical digestion that your food undergoes occurs, and where most of the nutrients your body needs are drawn from. The enzymes break down polymeric macromolecules, so that your body can easily absorb them. Simply put, starches and large sugars are broken down into simple sugars, such as glucose, the most simple sugar, proteins into amino acids, and lipids(fats) into fatty acids and glycerol.


What is the enzyme product for carbohydrase?
