Detailed explanation-1: -Some of the most common digestive enzymes are: Carbohydrase breaks down carbohydrates into sugars. Lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids. Protease breaks down protein into amino acids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Protease along with trypsin hydrolyze peptide bonds. Hence, enzymes that break down proteins in the food are pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, dipeptidase, etc.
