Oxido - reductases enzymes take part in digestion.

Answer 2

Answer:

The class of enzymes called hydrolases take part in digestion. Hydrolases are enzymes that are responsible for the hydrolysis of the various components of food such as fats, proteins, starch, nucleic acids, etc.

These enzymes bring about the direction by breaking down the components of food into smaller sections in the presence of water. Hence these are referred to as hydrolases.
