Digestion

Digestion is a complex process involving various enzymes that break down food into absorbable nutrients. Key players include pepsinogen and pepsin, which digest proteins into amino acids and peptides, and hydrochloric acid, which activates these enzymes. Carbohydrates are broken down by salivary amylase and pancreatic amylase into simple sugars. Additionally, fats are processed by lipase, yielding fatty acids and glycerol. Understanding these processes enhances our knowledge of nutrition and the importance of enzymes in overall digestion.
