Digestive System Lab Assignment

The Chemistry of DigestionWhat is important to understand about the chemistry of digestion is that we consume macromolecules in our diet: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats or lipids; and through chemical digestion the substances are broken down into their simplest parts: amino acids, monosaccharides or simple sugars, and fatty acids. Enzymes, proteins that are used to catalyze these reactions are made by our bodies. It is amazing to witness, and in the test tube we can see the results of enzymes and their role in digestion.A lactose intolerant person, for example, simply fails to produce lactase.
