    substrate: starch (it is reduced into maltose by the amylase)

    protease:

    group of enzymes that hydrolise proteins

    sources: stomach (secretes pepsin), pancreas (secretes trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase) , intestinal glands (secrete aminopeptidase)

    substrate: proteins and peptides (peptide bonds)

    lipase:

    source: pancreas

    substrate: lipids (the lipids are hydrolized into glycerol and fatty acids by the lipase)
