Answer:

Answer

"There are three classes of enzymes: metabolic enzymes, which run our bodies; digestive enzymes, which digest our food; and food enzymes from raw foods, which start food digestion.

Enzymes convert the food we eat into chemical structures that can pass through the cell membranes of the cells lining the digestive tract into the bloodstream."
Enzymes: are proteins that act as catalysts in mediating and speeding up a specific chemical reaction.
