3.Ans-
The digestion process is divided into mechanical and chemical digestion. The mechanical and chemical digestion starts in the mouth where the salivary glands secrete ptyalin that breaks down starch. The next process starts in the stomach that secretes HCL and pepsin that breaks down protein. The most of the digestion takes place in the small intestine where pancreas produced enzymes such as proteases, amylase, lipase that breaks down the carbohydrate, fat, and protein.
4. Ans-
Amylase, maltase, sucrose, lipase, protease, and peptidase all are examples of digestive enzymes.
Amylase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down starch into small carbohydrate molecule. They are produced in salivary glands and pancreas.
Maltase breaks down the disaccharide maltose into glucose molecules and they are produced in the intestine.
Sucrase breaks down the sucrose into fructose and glucose and produced by the small intestine.
Lipase is a lipid degrading enzyme that breaks down dietary fats into fatty acids and glycerol and produced in the pancreas.
Protease is a protein-degrading enzyme that breaks down protein. They are produced in the pancreas that released in the intestine
Peptidase breaks down the peptides into amino acids that released by the pancreas.
