Write the action of various enzymes

I hope it will help in your studies.
What is the action of enzymes?
The mechanism of enzymatic action. An enzyme attracts substrates to its active site, catalyzes the chemical reaction by which products are formed, and then allows the products to dissociate (separate from the enzyme surface). The combination formed by an enzyme and its substrates is called the enzyme–substrate complex.

Digestive enzymes
Digestive enzymes are classified based on their target substrates: Lipases split fatty acids off of fats and oils. Proteases and peptidases split proteins into small peptides and amino acids. Amylases split carbohydrates such as starch and sugars into simple sugars such as glucose.
Examples of digestive enzymes are:
- Amylase, produced in the mouth. It helps break down large starch molecules into smaller sugar molecules.
- Pepsin, produced in the stomach. ...
- Trypsin, produced in the pancreas. ...
- Pancreatic lipase, produced in the pancreas. ...
- Deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease, produced in the pancreas.
What are the four steps of enzyme action?
Four Steps of Enzyme Action
- The enzyme and the substrate are in the same area. Some situations have more than one substrate molecule that the enzyme will change.
- The enzyme grabs on to the substrate at a special area called the active site. ...
- A process called catalysis happens. ...
- The enzyme releases the product.
