T Enzymes are biological catalysts (help specific chemical reactions to happen) that are produced in salivary glands and the pancreas. What are enzymes and where are they produced?

T Amylase enzymes in the mouth break carbohydrates down into sugars. Which enzyme breaks down carbohydrates?

T Protease enzymes in the stomach break proteins down into amino acids. Which food does protease break down?

T Lipase enzymes in the small intestines break Lipids down into glycerol and fatty acids. Where is lipase used?

T Amylase and Protease enzymes in the small intestines break undigested carbohydrates and proteins Which other enzymes are found in the small intestines?

T Nutrients are now small enough to be absorbed through the lining of the small intestines into the bloodstream. How do the nutrients reach the blood stream?

T The lining of the small intestines is adapted to have a thin lining, large surface area and good blood supply. How is the lining of the small intestines adapted?

T Water is absorbed through the lining of the large intestines. What is absorbed through the lining of the large intestines?

W Anything left is excreted What happens to the undigested food?
