What do you call the process of enzymes breaking down food?

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.)

What breaks down food by the action of muscles enzymes and acids?
A stomach.
Organelles that contain digestive enzymes for breaking down food molecules are called what?
Lysosomes.
What is the structure within a protozoan where enzymes are secreted to digest?
The structure within a protozoan where enzymes are secreted to digest is called the food vacuole. The food vacuole is responsible for engulfing and breaking down food particles through the action of digestive enzymes. Once digestion is complete, the protozoan absorbs the nutrients from the food vacuole.
What food has to be to get into the blood?
Digestion, which is the process of making food absorbable by dissolving it and breaking it down into simpler chemical compounds that occurs in the living body chiefly through the action of enzymes secreted into the alimentary canal
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 microorganisms break down materials?
They digest food with enzymes; breaking down large molecules into small ones.
What produces enzymes that break down digested food?
After the food is digested in the stomach, it goes through the passageway and meets the liver, gall bladder and the pancreas; which all secrete enzymes used for breaking down food as well.
Are enzymes in the stomach?
Yes ....!! they are definitely present in the stomach ....n they help in breaking down of food and process the food further down in the process of digestion.!
What is breaking down food to release food in cells called?
well, enzymes are proteins that break up food molecules and digestion is when large protein molecules are broken down
