Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are proteins that help speed up metabolism, or the chemical reactions in our bodies. They build some substances and break others down.
Detailed explanation-2: -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: -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. Some of your organs, including your pancreas, gallbladder, and liver, also release them.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transferases-catalyze the transfer of groups from one molecule to another. Hydrolases-cleave a substrate using water (hydrolysis). Oxidoreductase-involved in oxidation-reduction, transfer of e-’s between molecules. Lyase-catalyzes the lysis of a substrate w/out water or oxygen. More items
