    Jerene Brown
    This table lists digestive enzymes, where they act in the digestive system, their substrates or food components they break down, the products they create, and their origin or where they are produced. Key enzymes include salivary amylase and pepsin in the mouth and stomach, and pancreatic lipase, trypsin, maltase, and pancreatic amylase in the small intestine which break down proteins, fats, starches, and other nutrients into smaller molecules for absorption.

    Digestive enzymes function in chemical digestion. It begins in


    the mouth and ends in the small intestine.

    No chemical digestion in the large intestine. Bacteria here are
