How are enzyems and chewing different?
enzymes and chewing are part of your mouth
How are enzyms similar to chewing and how are they different?
enzymes and chewing are part of your mouth
What do you call the process of enzymes breaking down food?
It's called CHEWING.
Does chewing speed up your metabolism?
yes chewing speeds up metabolism,because it limits the digestive processes being done by the digestive enzymes.
What digestive materials are introduced by saliva?
Water to help with chewing Enzymes that break down starch
What are chewing and churning types of?
Chewing and churning are types of mechanical digestion. The other type of digestion is chemical digestion, which involves the breaking down of foods via enzymes.
How does the action of chewing help the enzymes?
Chewing breaks down food into smaller particles, increasing the surface area available for enzymes to act on. This process also mixes the food with saliva, which contains enzymes like amylase that start the digestion process in the mouth. By incorporating chewing, the food is pre-digested before reaching the stomach, helping the enzymes more effectively break down nutrients.
Use saliva in a sentence?
Human saliva contains enzymes thus commencing digestion right from chewing.
How was the first chewing gum different from chewing gum today?
The first chewing gum was whale blubber.
What happens in the mouth at the beginning of the digestive process?
The action of chewing produces extra saliva - which contains digestive enzymes.
Why are there so many different enzymes?
because enzymes are just many different proteins put together so they can make many different combinations of enzymes.
What do enzymes do to the chemicals involved in the reaction?
Enzymes are biocatalysts, they accelerate the reaction rate. Different individual enzymes operate by different mechanisms.
