Enzymes are essential for the digestive system to break down food. Salivary amylase acts on starch but not protein, which shows its chemical specificity. Enzymes are proteins (so it doesn't lack protein), they are reusable (so it's not non - reusable), and the enzyme itself doesn't contain starch (the substrate is starch).
