Question: Drag each label into the appropriate position in order to identify which type of macromolecule is the target of each digestive enzyme or compound.
Digestive enzymes are substances that help you digest your food. They are secreted by the salivary glands and cells lining the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. Digestive enzymes do this by splitting the large, complex molecules that make up proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into smaller ones. This allows the nutrients from these foods to be easily absorbed into your blood and carried through your body.
Digestive enzymes are classified based on their target substrates: Lipases split fatty acids into fats and oils. Proteases and peptidases split proteins into small peptides and amino acids. Amylases split carbohydrates such as starch and sugars into simple sugars such as glucose. Nucleases split nucleic acids into nucleotide.
