What’s on the Digestive Enzymes poster
A 6-row table: Enzyme · Where · Substrate → product.
By site of action.
- Amylase — Mouth, pancreas — Starch → maltose
- Maltase — Small intestine — Maltose → glucose
- Pepsin — Stomach — Protein → peptides
- Trypsin — Pancreas — Protein → peptides
- Peptidase — Small intestine — Peptides → amino acids
- Lipase — Pancreas — Lipids → fatty acids + glycerol
Bile is not an enzyme. It emulsifies fat into droplets, increasing the surface area for lipase to act on.
Questions about the Digestive Enzymes poster
- What’s on the Digestive Enzymes poster?
- A 6-row table: Enzyme · Where · Substrate → product. By site of action. Amylase — Mouth, pancreas — Starch → maltose; Maltase — Small intestine — Maltose → glucose; Pepsin — Stomach — Protein → peptides; Trypsin — Pancreas — Protein → peptides; Peptidase — Small intestine — Peptides → amino acids; Lipase — Pancreas — Lipids → fatty acids + glycerol.

- Who is the Digestive Enzymes poster for?
- Digestive Enzymes belongs to the Biology section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning physiology can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Digestive Enzymes poster?
- Three food groups, three enzyme families, several sites each. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Digestive Enzymes belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Digestive Enzymes?
- Blood Glucose Control, The Cardiac Cycle and The Circulatory System sit alongside Digestive Enzymes in the Biology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Blood Glucose ControlThe Cardiac CycleThe Circulatory System
- Is the Digestive Enzymes poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Digestive Enzymes downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Biology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Digestive Enzymes poster print at?
- Digestive Enzymes is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Digestive Enzymes loses nothing.Printing guide
