proteins that help break down large molecules into smaller molecules
A
enzymes
B
saliva
C
bili
D
gastric juice
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrolases catalyse the split of the larger molecules into smaller ones. Reason. Ligases catalyse the union of two substrate molecules into one. Name the class of enzyme which split larger molecules into smaller ones.

Detailed explanation-2: -An enzyme is a protein that can control the rate of biochemical reactions. In enzymatic hydrolysis reactions, an enzyme incorporates a water molecule across the bond, allowing it to break.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers-proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Detailed explanation-4: -The role of enzymes Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together by peptides, which are broken by proteases.

Detailed explanation-5: -The two major pancreatic enzymes that digest proteins in the small intestine are chymotrypsin and trypsin . Trypsin activates other protein-digesting enzymes called proteases, and together, these enzymes break proteins down to tripeptides, dipeptides, and individual amino acids.
