Enzymes are specific to one particular substrate, due to the unique shape of their active site, which is the region on the enzyme where the substrate fuses before being broken down. Consequently, lots of separate types of enzymes are required for all the many different types of carbohydrate/fat/protein etc.

Why do animals have so many different enzymes to digest their food?

In fact, teeth and chewing helps saliva in breaking food down. Also, saliva can only breakdown carbohydrates compound. Proteins, fats and fibres need stronger and different enzyme.

What is the function of the Protease in digestion?
Protease is a enzyme designed to break down proteins, and this is just what it's used for in the body.An example being the chemical digestion of food-protein.I.e.: If you eat protein-containing food, like meat, the enzyme protease will cut the proteins of the meat into aminoacids (the buildingblocks of protein) which can then be absorped through the gastrointestinal wall and into the blood-stream.Once in the blood-stream the aminoacids can be used for a variety purposes, including build-up of muscle-tissue.
