2. Lipase: Lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol, which can be easily absorbed by the body.
3. Protease: Protease enzymes break down proteins into amino acids, which are essential for various bodily functions such as muscle-building and tissue repair.
4. Pepsin: This enzyme is found in the stomach and helps break down proteins into smaller peptides for easier digestion.
5. Trypsin: Trypsin is produced in the pancreas and helps break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids in the small intestine.
6. Lactase: Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose, the sugar found in dairy products, into glucose and galactose. Individuals who are lactose intolerant lack sufficient levels of this enzyme.
These enzymes work together to break down the different components of food into their basic building blocks, allowing for proper absorption and utilization by the body.
