The structure within a protozoan where enzymes are secreted to digest is called the food vacuole. The food vacuole is responsible for engulfing and breaking down food particles through the action of digestive enzymes. Once digestion is complete, the protozoan absorbs the nutrients from the food vacuole.

Pancreatic enzymes digest all types of fluids after they are secreted into the?
esophogus
What is external digestion?
External digestion is when enzymes are secreted to digest food outside of the organism. Then the soluble nutrients are absorbed by the organism.
Where is the lipase secreted and what does it digest fats into?
it is secreted by the pancrease.
What organ produces enzymes that break down fats proteins and carbohydrates?
The gallbladder, which is an accessory organ of the small intestines, makes bile which is secreted into the small intestine and emulsifies (breaks down) fats.
How do amoebas digest their food?
They engulf food particle by phagocytosis. The food vacuoles fuse with lysosomes, and the enzymes digest the food. Undigested material is later remove by exocytosis. ------------------------------------- They have structures called vacuoles in their cytoplasm. These are like movable stomachs made of cell wall material.. The food is enclosed, enzymes are secreted within the vacuole. Nutrients are absorbed through the walls. Then the vacuole moves to the surface of the cell and the unusable contents are discarded.
Where are digestive enzymes secreted and combined with food particles?
Enzymes from the liver, pancreas and gallbladder are secreted into the small intestine to digest the food inside.
Pancreatic enzymes digest all types of fluids after they are secreted into the?
esophogus
What enzymes are produced by the pancreas and what are their function?
The pancreas is a digestive organ in the abdomen that lies just below the stomach. Its primary job is to produce enzymes required for the digestion and absorption of food. Enzymes secreted include lipases that digest fat, proteases which digest proteins, and amylases which digest starch molecules.

Why are protein digestive enzymes produced and released in an inactive form?
In the case of protein digesting enzymes, known as endopeptidases, such as those secreted in the stomach (pespin), it is obvious. If they were secreted active they would digest the glands which secrete the enzymes themselves (gastric glands). Instead they must be secreted in an inactive form, which once in the stomach and exposed to HCl acid and other pepsin enzymes the pepsinogen activates and begins digesting protein.
What is external digestion?
External digestion is when enzymes are secreted to digest food outside of the organism. Then the soluble nutrients are absorbed by the organism.
What enzymes are secreted in an earthworm's digestive tract?
ANSWERAnimals digest their food. The proteins carbohydrates and fat in food. are broken down into simple molecules.
Where is the lipase secreted and what does it digest fats into?
it is secreted by the pancrease.
How can a patient without pancreas get the enzymes required?
The three types of digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas are proteolytic enzymes which are responsible for the digestion of proteins, lipases, which digest fats and amylases which digest dietary carbohydrates. As well as the digestive enzymes, Insulin and Glucagon are antagonists in control of blood sugar levels an thus the levels of sugar available to the cells.
Do the enzymes in the mouth come from the pancreas?
Yes. The pancreas is a digestive organ in the abdomen that lies just below the stomach. Its primary job is to produce enzymes required for the digestion and absorption of food. Enzymes secreted include lipases that digest fat, proteases which digest proteins, and amylases which digest starch molecules.
Hardest food for a human to digest?
There are a few top contenders, but it is suspected that the hardest food for a human to digest is bread. In order to digest food, enzymes are needed, which are secreted by the pancreas. Because bread has no naturally occurring enzymes (unlike a lot of other food) the pancreas has to work exceptionally hard, producing extra enzymes to break down the bread. Other food products that are hard to digest include pork, beans, broccoli and whole-milk hard cheese.
What is the pancreas?
It is an organ in your body that makes insulin to control your blood sugar levels and in people with diabetes their pancreas does not do this or the protein receptors are shaped funny so they do not pick up the insulin and so some diabetics have to inject it I know that is one type of diabetes but I forget the other type.
