    The document summarizes important enzymes in the digestive system involved in breaking down carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. It lists the enzymes that hydrolyze starches and sugars in the mouth and small intestine. For proteins, it outlines enzymes produced in the stomach and pancreas that hydrolyze peptide bonds. Lipid digestion involves bile produced by the liver and lipase from the pancreas that emulsifies and breaks down fats in the small intestine.
