(digestive enzymes, the digestive system) - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Proteases are digestive enzymes that break down proteins into amino acids.
        
        Production
        
        Proteases are produced in the:
        
        small intestine
        
        pancreas
        
        stomach
        
        action sites
        
        The sites of action of proteases are the:
        
        small intestine
        
        stomach
        
        purpose
        
        Proteases break down proteins into amino acids.
        
        Protein → Amino acids.
    - - they are found in the mouth and The small intestine
        
        Amylase breaks down starch into its constituent simple sugars (predominantly maltose).
        Starch → Maltose (+ other sugars).
        
        Amylase is produced in:
        
        Small intestine
        
        Pancreas
        
        Salivary glands
