you dont digest bacteria
foods contain enzymes and bacteria that help digest food and eliminate wastes.
Lysosomes
Tears produce lysozyme to kill bacteria, gastric juice secretes Hcl that kills bacteria.
It's very acidic so it will provide the conditions for enzymes to multiply and it will kill off bacteria. Acid DOES NOT digest the food, ENZYMES digest the food
The stomach contains strong acids that are used together with enzymes to digest food.
No, saliva's function is to digest carbohydrates through it's containing the enzyme amylase.
NoHumans are unable to digest cellulose because the appropriate enzymes to breakdown the beta acetal linkages are lacking. (More on enzyme digestion in a later chapter.) indigestible cellulose is the fiber which aids in the smooth working of the intestinal tract.Animals such as cows, horses, sheep, goats, and termites have symbiotic bacteria in the intestinal tract. These symbiotic bacteria possess the necessary enzymes to digest cellulose in the GI tract. They have the required enzymes for the breakdown or hydrolysis of the cellulose; the animals do not, not even termites, have the correct enzymes. No vertebrate can digest cellulose directly.One of the comments indicated the reader is confused as to whether termites have the necessary enzymes to digest cellulose. The answer indicates, correctly, that they do not have the enzymes (innately). Instead, they have a symbiotic relationship with a bacteria that provides the needed enzymes. In other words, they have them, but only because a friendly organism supplies them with them.Reference: http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/547cellulose.htmlfalse
Both use enzymes and digest within the body.
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. for the plant they digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed bacteria or viruses.
Lysosomes are the organelles contained in the cells digestive enzymes. Lysosomes have the acid hydrolase enzymes that digest waste products in a cell, such as viruses and bacteria. These organelles also play a role in plasma membrane repair.
The special vesicles containing enzymes are called Lysosomes.
