    • the breakdown of carbohydrates proteins and fats into small soluble substances that can be absorbed into the blood
    • lipases and  proteases are used in biological detergents and enzymes are used in the manufacture of food and drink
    • digestion happens inside the gut
    • food is moved in the digestive system by a process called peristalis
