active site, the site on an enzyme where the reactants bind, amino acids, molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen that are the building blocks of proteins, amylase, enzyme that speeds up the digestion of starch into sugars, bile, neutralises stomach acid to give a high pH for the enzymes from the pancreas and small intestine to work well. It is not an enzyme, carbohydrases, enzymes that speed up the breakdown of carbohydrates into simple sugars, carbohydrates, molecules that contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They provide the energy for the metabolism and are found in foods such as rice, potatoes, and bread, catalyst, a substance that speeds up the rate of another reaction but is not used up or changed itself, denatured, the breakdown of the molecular structure of a protein so it no longer functions, digestive system, organ system where food is digested and absorbed, enzymes, biological catalysts, usually proteins, fatty acids, part of the structure of a lipid molecule, lipase, enzymes that speed up the breakdown of lipids into fatty acids and glycero, lipids, include fats and oils and are found in foods such as butter, olive oil, and crisps. They are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, organ, an aggregation (collection) of different tissues working together to carry out specific functions, organ system, a group of organs that work together to carry out specific functions and form organisms, proteases, enzymes that speed up the breakdown of proteins into amino acids, proteins, molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and are made of long chains of amino acids. They are used for building the cells and tissues of the body and to form enzymes, tissue, a group of specialised cells with a similar structure and function
