Enzymes are the substances which helps in the broken down of large food molecules into small molecules. It is because our body is not able to absorb large food molecules, these large molecules are broken down into small molecules with the help of enzymes. Carbohydrate is broken down into glucose by amylase and protein is broken down into amino acids by protease. Enzyme is non-living in nature and used as a catalyst in order to speed up the chemical reaction.
