  • Enzymes
    • Carbohydrates
      • Carbohydrase such as amylase

          • Starts digestion in mouth, enzymes made in pancreas flow to the small intestine where most of the starch is digested.
      • Starch into sugars
    • Proteins
      • Proteins into amino acids
      • Enzyme is protease
        • Produced in stomach, pancreas and small intestine.
    • Fats and Oils (Lipids)
      • Lipids into fatty acids and glycerol
      • Enzyme is called lipase
