Proteases are enzymes that digest proteins. Examples of proteases that are used in the human body include Pepsin (an enzyme in the stomach), and Trypsin (an enzyme in the small intestine) which digest proteins into amino acids, or polypeptide chains composed of amino acids.

Lipase Is the enzyme which digests fats into fatty acids and glycerol.

Extra facts:

There is also one green liquid known as the bile which breaks down fats into smaller fats droplets in the small intestine.Bile is produced in the liver,stored in the gall bladder.

The small intestine:

1.Duodenum(contains intestinal,pancreatic juices and bile to digest fats,proteins and carbohydrates/starch)

2.Jejunum

3.Ileum

What does bile digest?

Bile does NOT digest fats. It is NOT an enzyme, therefore, it cannot break down lipid molecules into smaller nutrients. What bile does is it HELPS enzyms to digest fats by emulsifying the fat molecules. This means the surface area is increased, thus enuring a more efficient and quicker digestion of the lipid molecules. This process takes place at the top of the small intestine, in the duodenum, as this is where bile is secreted from the gallbladder, through the bile duct and onto the food.

What is the name of the enzyme that brakes down fat?

Bile from the Gallbladder is used to digest fat. The function of bile is to break down fat into small droplets, whose surface area is greater than the surface area of the original. The fat is then acted upon by an enzyme, or biological catalyst, called lipase.
