Digestive Enzymes
Enzymes are protein molecules that increase the speed of chemical reactions in the body. They work by combining with and altering the molecules of other chemical substances. There are 1000s of different types of enzyme, with varied structures that determine their particular activity. The digestive enzymes secreted in the digestive tract split large molecules of food into smaller units for absorption. Molecule BreakdownWhen a digestive enzyme combines with a large food molecule, for example a fat or protein, it causes a chemical change in the molecule's structure. The molecule splits into two or more smaller molecules.
AbsorptionThe smaller food molecules seperate from the enzyme and can now be absorbed. They pass through the wall of the intestine and into the bloodstream for distribution around the body. The digestive enzyme remains unaltered and will continue the process with further food molecules. |
