→About Digestive Enzymes
*[[Carbohydrase]] - Breaks down [[Complex Carbohydrate|complex carbohydrate]]s into simple [[sugar]]s.
*[[Protease]] - Breaks down [[protein]]s.
*[[Lipase]] - Brakes Breaks down [[lipid]]s (fats and oils).
==Key Stage 4==
: '''Digestive enzymes''', like all [[enzyme]]s, are made of [[protein]]s.
: '''Digestive enzymes''' work as a [[catalyst]] for the breakdown of large [[molecule]]s.
: '''Digestive enzymes''' are shaped to work on only one [[Substrate (Biology)|substrate]]. This called the [[Lock and Key HypothesisModel]].
Some '''digestive enzymes''' you should know:
*[[Carbohydrase]]s - [[Salivary Amylase]], [[Pancreatic Amylase]] and [[Amylase]].
*[[Protease]]s - [[Pepsin]], [[Trypsin]] and [[Petidase]]Peptidase
*[[Lipase]]
