If all enzymes are proteins but all proteins are not enzymes then what makes enzymes different fr?
Enzymes are proteins, but as you can imagine, different parts of the body need different types of enzymes to work efficiently. Can you imagine the enzymes which break down food in the process of digestion being replaced by the enzymes which assist respiration or photosynthesis? It wouldn't work. Each type of enzyme controls different chemical processes.
What is the type of digestion called when food is digested?
there are actually 2 types of digestion:1.) Mechanical - this is done by the stomach muscles and the teeth. It's like a machine, breaking down food.2.) Chemical - this done by saliva (enzymes in the saliva, actually) and enzymes in the stomach. They (enzymes) are a type of molecule that breaks down food.
