Does the large intestine use chemical or mechanical digestion?
The large intestine does not perform any digestion whatsoever. It is part of the gastrointestinal tract, but it only performs mainly absorption, as in water, some minerals, and some vitamins.
Carbonic anhydrase breaks down carbonic acid into water and carbon dioxide gas The specific area of the enzyme where carbonic acid attaches is known as the?

How An Enzyme Can Be Used In Digestion Breaking A Larger Reactant Down Into Smaller Products.?
All digestive enzymes are hydrolases which use molecule of water and break large molecules by hydrolysis in smaller ones .
What enzyme does saliva produce?
The enzyme amylase (for breaking down starch) is produced by the salivary glands along with water and mucus
Water is absorbed from what during digestion?
Water is absorbed from the large intestine into the bloodstream during digestion.
What is the name of the digestion juice?
the exocrine secretions of the gastric cells, together with a large amount of water form a highly acidic solution called gastric juice.
How does your stomach process?
The stomach breaks down food mechanically and also produces chemicals for digestion. Most of the nutrients broken down in digestion are absorbed by the small intestine In the large intestine, water and minerals are absorbed and waste material is stored. Solid waste is eliminated through the rectum.
What is the role of the water in digestion?
It doesn't. It gets stored in the bladder and gets turned into waste.
Why you add distilled water in restriction digestion of lambda DNA along with enzyme and assay buffer?
We generally add milliQ (DNase free) water. For digestion water is added usually. It provides right Hydrogen bonds between enzyme amino acid residues and bases present in the restriction sites. Utpal Roy
How do the salivary glands work in digestion?
The salivary gland produces an important digestive enzyme, called amylase, that helps to break down starches and liquefy the food in the chewing phase of digestion. Once swallowed, the food is exposed to more enzymes and processes that complete the digestion as it travels through the various areas of the digestive tract.
What is a degradation?
A degradation reaction breaks down a large molecule into smaller molecules. For example, the enzyme catalase breaks down Hydrogen Peroxide into Oxygen and Water.
What is the function of catylase?
Aparrently, this is a misnomer, and the correct spelling is catalase, an enzyme that breaks down peroxida into water and oxygen.
Which nutrients enter the bloodstream?
Amino acids, mono-sugars, fatty acids, glycerol, minerals and vitamins enter the blood stream. They enter from the portal venous system. You get amino acids from the protein digestion. You get mono-sugars from the carbohydrate digestion. You get the fatty acids and glycerol from the digestion of the fats. Vitamins and minerals need no digestion, before absorption.
What is a degradation reaction?
A degradation reaction breaks down a large molecule into smaller molecules. For example, the enzyme catalase breaks down Hydrogen Peroxide into Oxygen and Water.
What is needed to digest proteins?
Mainly, the enzyme Protease breaks up proteins into amino-acids. Also, proteins contain nitrogen which the body cannot use. Water is required to remove this nitrogen, bonding with if to form ammonia. This is subsequently secreted in urine.
Which digestive enzyme is produced by salivary glands and what does it do?
Amylase is produced in the salivary glands and it hydrolyses (breaks down with the addition of water) starch into maltose.
Does the large intestine use chemical or mechanical digestion?
The large intestine does not perform any digestion whatsoever. It is part of the gastrointestinal tract, but it only performs mainly absorption, as in water, some minerals, and some vitamins.
