Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteases are enzymes specialized in breaking the peptide bonds that hold amino acids together in proteins. This process releases individual amino acids that can then be used for other metabolic processes. Amylases are enzymes that break down carbohydrates, reductases and dehydrogenases are involved in metabolic redox reactions, and lipases break down lipids.
