Why are enzyme important in digestion?
if we didn’t have enzymes as part of our digestive system, digestion would take a lot longer. Enzymes break food down into smaller pieces after mechanical digestion so that chemical digestion can work on smaller pieces of food. different types of enzymes break down different types of food substances. Amylase breaks down starches into simple sugars. Protease breaks down protein and there is one that breaks down fats and oils but i cant think of its name.
