1 Digestive Enzymes Break up macromolecules into their building blocks
5 main enzymes: Amylase Lipase Protease Pepsin Bile

2 Amylase Location: Mouth Function: converts starch  monosaccharides

3 Lipase Location: Stomach + Pancreas Function:
Gastric Lipase: degrades (break down) fat Pancreatic Lipase: breaks down lipids  fatty acids + glycerol

4 Protease Location: Stomach + Pancreas
Function: breaks down proteins  amino acids Ex:// trypsin + chymotrypsin

5 Pepsin Location: Stomach
Function: Breaks down proteins into smaller pieces

6 Bile Location: made in the liver, stored in the gall bladder
Function: Breaks down fats into fatty acids

7 Wanted Poster Pick one of the five enzymes to create a wanted poster for: Should include the lists on the back of your handout
