Where is the site of digestion?
In humans most mechanical digestion takes place in the mouth through chewing.
Is the stomach the first site where absorption takes place?
No it is not, the stomach initiates protein digestion and denatures proteins. The intestines is the first site where absorption takes place.
What is the site of first step in carbohydrate digestion?
The first portion of carbohydrate digestion in humans takes place in the mouth as amylase in the saliva starts to break down sugars.
What enzymes involved in carbohydrate digestion indicating their origin site of action substrates and product?
Amylase - saliva - breaks down polysaccharides into disaccharides - resulting in maltose or sugar.Pancreatic amylase - small intestine - coverts polysaccharides into disaccharides - resulting in maltose or very small glucose.Lactose, sucrose, maltose, alpha dextrinase - lining of small intestine - splits disaccharides into monosaccharides.
What are in organic nutrients?
The primary site of nutrient digestion is the small intestine, but this also takes place to a lesser extent in the stomach and mouth. The small intestine is also where the majority of digested nutrients are absorbed.
What is the primary site of the intracellular digestion?
The primary site of intracellular digestion are the lysosomes.
What is the site of final digestion?
In a human's digestive tract, the final site of digestion is the small intestine.
What organel is the site of photosynthesis?
The chloroplasts are the organelles in which photosynthesis takes place.
What organ is the major site of chemical digestion of food?
The digestion (and indeed absorption) of all nutrients occurs in the small intestine. To be precise, it is the duodenum where much of the breaking down takes place. It is here where enzymes from the pancreas, as well as bile from the liver, and secreted, to aid the process of digestion.
What important process takes place at the site of ribosomes?
At the site of ribosomes, protein is produced, like the factory of a cell.
Does cellular respiration occur in ribosomes?
No,it does not.It takes place in ribosomes.It takes place in mitochondria
This is the site of most chemical digestion?
Mouth
