What does the digestive system convert?
The digestive system converts food into nutrients. Breaking it down with enzymes and other chemicals. It turns it into nutrients and fat (Fat is to be stored for later use to provide energy).
The role of enzymes in the digestive system?
they help in the chemical breakdown of large molecules that can enter the blood
In which organ is biological activity of an enzyme present?
Enzymes are present throughout the entire body. Without these enzymes, simple chemical reactions would take too long to complete. Enzymes are best seen in the digestive system and in the stomach and small intestine. There, enzymes go to work breaking up nutrients such as proteins, carbs, and lipids.
What has digestives enzymes?
Animals have digestive enzymes. The enzymes of the digestive tract break down the nutrients in food. The supplement C-Q10 adds to the enzymes that are naturally found in the digestive tract.
Is breaking down nutrients the function of your digestive system?
no that is what enzymes do to particles of nutrients wich are to big to digest. some particles are taken into the blood vessels to be taken to somewhere else. is that the answer U wanted? :)
What do the enzymes in the digestive system and hydrolases have in common?
Enzymes in the digestive system speed up the breakdown of food. The process of these enzymes breaking down the food in the digestive tract is known as hydrolases.
How do enzymes aid the absorption of nutrients?
Enzymes catalyze(or speed up) chemical reactions to make nutrients.
What is the mechanical and chemical breaking up of fat into smaller particles that can more readily be acted upon by digestive enzymes?
Emulsification by bile breaks up the fat into smaller particles. This process increases the surface area that can be acted upon by digestive enzymes like lipase.
What type of chemical reaction is catalyzed by the digestive enzymes in the digestive juices of the alimentary canal?
DEAMINATION
What happens if the pancreas does not make enough enzymes?
if digestive system did not work properly you wouldn't get all the nutrients you need and eventually you'd get weak &sick
What organ system has chemical messangers called enzymes?
digestive and circulatory
Organelles that contain digestive enzymes for breaking down food molecules are called what?
Lysosomes.
