Question

What enzymes are found in the digestive system and what macromolecules do they break down? list the organs that produce the enzymes as well as the specific enzymes and the macromolecule each enzyme breaks up next to it

Answer 1

Enzymes in digetsive system are protases, nucleases, Amylase,Pepsin, Trypsin, Pancreatic lipase, Deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease.

Explanation:

The food that we intake can be broken into many sub units and they are in taken by the blood stream for attaining energy. This is done by the digestive system. there are many enzymes that are created by various organs of digestive system that helps to break down food that we intake. These enzymes includes, protases, nucleases, Amylase,Pepsin, Trypsin, Pancreatic lipase, Deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease. Enzymes are the proteins that are helpful in breaking down the food that we take.

Protases and nucleases are used for breaking down the proteins and nucleic acids respectively. starch and sugar are broken down by Amylase. This enzyme is produced by the organ mouth. Stomach is the organ that produces Pepsin and it helps in breaking down proteins to amino acids. Pancreas produces the enzyme Trypsin that helps in breaking down proteins. Pancreas also produces lipase that breaks fats.
