i think u mean the process of catabolism wherethe cells are broken down from complecated (forgot the word) to a simple (same word as the one forget)usualy realesing energy im tacking this stuf in 9th grade igcse and wasent in the mood to check my copybook trust me i got a 22 out of 25

What feature contains Digestive enzymes which break things down?
Lysosomes
What solutes are contained in saliva?
It contains many different things. In simplest terms, it contains: digestive enzymes, traces of acid, water (of course), and germs. Believe it or not, the mouth contains more germs per square inch than any other part of your body (yuck!). Some of these germs are beneficial, but many are not.
What enzymes are in apples?
Yes. Apples do indeed have electrons--and they also have protons and neutrons, since they consist of matter, which contains atoms--which, in turn, contain electrons, as well as protons and neutrons.
What type of enzyme are digestive enzyme?
things like amylase which breaks down carbohydrates and lipase which breaks down fat/lipids. these are some types of digestive enzymes
What factors affect the operation of enzymes and why?
Digestive enzymes break down the food we eat into smaller particles. In the mouth, there is salivary amylase which starts the break down of carbohydrates. Next, the stomach has pepsin which starts breaking down proteins. In the small intestine the pancreas releases pancreatic amylase (carbohydrates), trypsin (proteins), and several other important enzymes. Things that may affect the function of these enzymes may be pH and temperature changes. Enzymes can be denatured if they are placed in an unsuitable pH or temperature and therefore are unable to work. Hailey Amstrong
What Carries food from the digestive system to your body?
The pancreas produces a mixture of enzymes which pour through a duct into the small intestine. The mixture is called pancreatic juice and contains trypsinogen and amylase amongst other things.
What are the jobs of proteins?
There are many, but they include breaking down things (enzymes) part of the immune response (antibodies), and holding cell membranes together.
Which organelle is responsible for breaking down and digesting things?
The organelle responsible for breaking down and digesting things is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that can break down various molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids, into smaller components that can be used by the cell.
Does noodle produce sugar in body?
Noodles are made of some flour and mainly refined wheat flour. This flour contain carbohydrates and carbohydrates is mixture of sugars and other things so that is what your digestive system do, it separates the sugars and other things and digest them at different levels of digestive system by different enzymes.
How does the pancreas help digest food?
The pancreas secretes bile, a digestive enzyme, into the intestines. Food is broken up and nutrients carried out into the the blood. The pancreas secretes enzymes that include lipases that digest fat, proteases which digest proteins, and amylases which digest starch molecules.
How does an infection affecting the digestive system would directly threaten a persons health?
The digestive system prepares liquid and solid nutrientsfor use by cells by breaking down the complex molecules that give living things energy and raw material, if there was an infection it would disrupt the function of the digestive system
Why are enzymes?
Enzymes are important because they initiate and regulate biological activity. Enzymes are biological catalysts which means that they speed up chemical reactions inside and outside cells.For example, the digestive enzyme amylase, found in the saliva, breaks down starch into smaller molecules so that it can be absorbed into the blood. Similarly, lipase breaks down lipids (fats) into smaller fat globules, so that they can also be absorbed into the blood. Enzymes allow the body to maintain all of its many cellular and metabolic processes.Without the assistance of digestive enzymes, many of the nutrients in food would not be made available to the body.More than 5000 enzymes are known. To name different enzymes, one typically uses the ending -ase with the name of the chemical being transformed (substrate), e.g., lactase is the enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of lactose.Each enzyme performs one specific process, so 5000 enzymes will do 5000 different things in the body.What kind of food contains more enzymes? Raw fish, meats, vegetables, fruits and specially fermented foods contain a greater amount of enzymes. hope i helped
