Digestive Enzymes Break up macromolecules into their building blocks 5 main enzymes: Amylase Lipase Protease Pepsin Bile
Amylase Location: Mouth Function: converts starch monosaccharides
Lipase Location: Stomach + Pancreas Function: Gastric Lipase: degrades (break down) fat Pancreatic Lipase: breaks down lipids fatty acids + glycerol
Protease Location: Stomach + Pancreas Function: breaks down proteins amino acids Ex:// trypsin + chymotrypsin
Pepsin Location: Stomach Function: Breaks down proteins into smaller pieces
Bile Location: made in the liver, stored in the gall bladder Function: Breaks down fats into fatty acids
