And also what are the uses of the products of digetion produced?
Also What are the uses of Maltose in the body?
Also what are the substrate enzymes that are produced in the following reactions?
Starch…………….Amalyse………….Maltose
Maltose………….Maltase………………Glucose
Protein………………Pepsin……………..Polypeptides and Endopeptides

Proteases break down proteins into amino acids. Maltose is broken down into glucose and amylase’s effect on starch depends upon what type of starch is in question. Fats aren’t broken down they get emulsified by bile and absorbed through the intestine wall into the blood and then into the lymph system.
