To review:
Match each digestive enzyme with the correct digestive reaction they catalyze.
Salivary amylase
Sucrase
Trypsin
Pancreatic lipase
Pancreatic amylase
Pepsin
The digestive reactions they catalyze are as follows:
Breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose in the small intestine
Digests lipids in the small intestine
Breaks down proteins into polypeptides in the stomach
Breaks down polysaccharides into oligosaccharides in the small intestine
Assists in protein digestion in the small intestine and activates other protein-digesting enzymes
Breaks down polysaccharides into oligosaccharides in the mouth
Introduction:
The digestion of food is done by breaking down the food into smaller components. It is of two types, which are mechanical digestion and chemical digestion. The chemical digestion needs many digestive enzymes that are needed to break down a single type of nutrient by breaking specific types of bonds.
