A. Hydrolases B. Oxido-reductases C. Synthetases D. Isomerases
Expert's answer
A) Hydrolases. Digestion is a splitting of nutrients
(carbohydrates, proteins, lipids) to the small molecules (monosaccharides,
aminoacids and fatty acids, respectively). Enzymes that perform splitting
belong to class hydrolases, and are called glycoside hydrolases,
peptidases and lipases.
