By enzymes,
The way in which enzymes actually work is extremely complicated so we use the models to think about them. A good model tries to represent the known facts about something. A model about digestive enzymes needs to try to represent these facts:
· Enzymes turn large molecules into smaller ones.
· Enzymes do not get used up as they carry out their tasks.
· Enzymes change shape as they work.
· Each enzyme only works on one particular type of molecule.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when food gets digested in your body?
When food gets digested in our body, energy is released after its breakdown.
What body system involved in the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food?
The digestive system is responsible for the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food. It includes organs such as the mouth, stomach, and intestines, which work together to process food into nutrients that the body can absorb. Mechanical breakdown involves chewing and mixing, while chemical breakdown involves enzymes and acids that help decompose food into simpler molecules. This system ensures that the body receives the necessary nutrients for energy, growth, and repair.
How does mechanical breakdown helps chemical breakdown?
Mechanical breakdown helps chemical breakdown because when you chew, chemical breakdown is going on all at the same time. So, that is going to chemical because if you didn't have saliva (chemical breakdown) if would take real long to digest your food.
What is the watery liquid that begins the chemical breakdown of food?
The watery liquid that begins the chemical breakdown of food is saliva. Saliva contains enzymes that help break down carbohydrates in the food we eat, making it easier for the body to digest.
What is the process that involves producing chemicals that aid in the body's breakdown in food?
The process you are referring to is called digestion. It involves the breakdown of food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by the body. This process is facilitated by various chemicals such as enzymes and acids produced by the digestive system.
Digestion is the?
The breakdown of food into smaller and smaller particles that can be absorbed into the tiny cells that make up the body.
Is the duodenum the part of the body where food is turned into a kind of paste?
The duodenum is responsible for the breakdown of food. The food output looks something like chunky peanut butter.
Does the large intestine breakdown food?
No. Most of the breakdown of food is done by the small intestine.
Do our bodies make hydrochloric acid?
Yes, a.k.a stomach acid. The body makes it and uses it to breakdown food
Why is Hdrocloric Acid secreted in your body?
Hydrochloric acid - is secreted by the stomach. It's used to breakdown the food we eat, allowing our body to absorb the nutrients.
The breakdown of food into molecules small enough to enter the bloodstream is primarily accomplished by the?
The breakdown of food into molecules small enough to enter the bloodstream is primarily accomplished by the process of digestion. This involves mechanical and chemical breakdown of food in the mouth, stomach, and intestines, with the help of enzymes, to break down macromolecules into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.
