Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
These enzymes help break down food into smaller molecules, like ____, that are tiny enough to pass from the digestive system into the circulatory system.
A
capillaries and blood vessels
B
glucose and amino acids
C
oxygen and carbon dioxide
D
elimination and respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Amylase, maltase, and lactase in the mouth digest carbohydrates. Trypsin and lipase in the stomach digest protein. Bile emulsifies lipids in the small intestine. No food is absorbed until the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main digestive enzymes made in the pancreas include: Amylase (made in the mouth and pancreas; breaks down complex carbohydrates) Lipase (made in the pancreas; breaks down fats) Protease (made in the pancreas; breaks down proteins)

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two enzymes in your saliva called amylase and lipase. They mostly break down carbohydrates and fats. Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Digestive enzymes play a key role in breaking down the food you eat. These proteins speed up chemical reactions that turn nutrients into substances that your digestive tract can absorb. Your saliva has digestive enzymes in it.

Detailed explanation-5: -The complex molecules of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are transformed by chemical digestion into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by the cells. Chemical digestion, through a process called hydrolysis, uses water and digestive enzymes to break down the complex molecules.
