2.29 understand the role of digestive enzymes, to include the digestion of starch to glucose by amylase and maltase, the digestion of proteins to amino acids by proteases and the digestion of lipids to fatty acids and glycerol by lipases


Enzymes break down food into useful things that our boddies need. Different enzymes break down different components of our food. You should learn that:

amylase and maltase convert starch to glucose

proteases convert proteins to amino acids

lipases convert lipids to fatty acids and glycerol.

  10. By supplying a broad range of enzymes to your digestive system before a meal, Easy Digest helps to fulfill key digestive needs like breaking down fat, protein, starch, lactose, sugar and fiber. Eating most foods, especially cooked foods, spends large amounts of enzymes, leaving most people with enzyme deficits. Easy Digest replenishes your body so you can comfortably digest every meal.https://www.amazon.com/Digestive-Enzymes-Plant-Based-Constipation-Intolerance/dp/B01N3XSLOK/ref=sr_1_28_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1498663953&sr=8-28&keywords=digestive+enzymes
