    • how do you break down big molecules
      by digestive enzymes
    • example of carbohydrates
      amylase
    • what does amylase do
      break down starch
    • where is amylase made
      salivary glands, pancreas, small intestine
    • what do proteases do
      converts proteins into amino acids
    • where are proteases made
      stomach, pancreas, small intestine
    • what do lipases do
      converts lipids into glycerol and fatty acids
    • where are lipases made 

      pancreas, small intestine
    • what is bile
