Enzyme in small intestine

Answer 1

There are enzymes in the small intestine to speed up break down of nutrients (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates) that pass through the small intestine. The small intestine is where most of the chemical digestion that your food undergoes occurs, and where most of the nutrients your body needs are drawn from.

The enzymes break down polymeric macromolecules, so that your body can easily absorb them. Simply put, starches and large sugars are broken down into simple sugars, such as glucose, the most simple sugar, proteins into amino acids, and lipids(fats) into fatty acids and glycerol.

Answer 2

There are digestive enzymes that are secreted by pancreas into the small intestine( ileum & duodenum) to complete digestion of starch, proteins and lipids. Small intestine wall secretes Peptidase and Maltase .

Answer 3

enzymes are in the large intestine because they help break down the macronutrients from the food being digested. They start in the duodenum by breaking down carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and amino acids , and continue on the small intestine through the jejunum, and into the ileum, which is the last part of the small intestine which absorbs any remaining nutrients.

Answer 4

The pancreas produces the 3 enzymes (carbohydrase, protease and lipase) which flows into the small intestine. So yes, the small intestine also produces all three types of enzymes.

Answer 5

yes, yes there is

Answer 6

Carbohydrase, protease and lipase.

Answer 7

protease and amylase
