?

Amylase

Produced by: Salivary Glands + Pancreas

Equation:

Starch → Sugars

1 of 4

Protease

Produced by: Stomach, Pancreas + Small Intestine

Equation:

Protein → Peptides/ Amino acids

2 of 4

Lipase

Produced by: Pancreas and Small Intestine

Equation:

Lipids → Fatty acids + Glycerol

3 of 4

Bile

  • Liquid made in liver
  • Stored in gall bladder
  • Neytralises HCl from stomach
  • Emulsifies fats → small droplets (increases surface area)
  • Alkaline conditions and large surface area → increases rate at which fat is broken down by lipase
