Where is digestion held in the Monera Kingdom?
Digestion is extracellular (outside the cell) and nutrients are absorbed into the cell.
What is the process that occurs as food and oxygen combine in mitochondria?
Digestion, this then creates energy for the cell
What organisms do extracellular and intracellular digestion?
Extracellular digestion is found in organisms like fungi, some bacteria, and animals, where enzymes are secreted outside the cell to break down food. Intracellular digestion occurs within cells and is common in single-celled organisms like amoebas and some types of sponges, where food particles are engulfed and digested inside specialized structures called vacuoles.
Where does macromolecule digestion take place in the cell?
Macromolecule digestion primarily takes place in organelles called lysosomes within the cell. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates into smaller molecules that can be used by the cell for energy or building new molecules.
What is extracellular digestion?
Extracellular digestion is a process in which saprobionts feed by secreting enzymes through the cell membrane onto the food. The enzymes catalyse the digestion of the food into molecules small enough to be taken up by passive diffusion, transport or phagocytosis. These nutrients are transferred into the blood or other body fluids. Since digestion occurs outside the cell, it is said to be extracellular. It takes place either in the lumen of the digestive system, in a gastric cavity or other digestive organ, or completely outside the body.Extracellular digestion is a form of digestion found in all saprobiontic annelids, crustaceans, arthropods, lichens and chordates, including vertebrates.

How can you tell that amylase is an exoenzyme and not an endoenyme?
Amylase is classified as an exoenzyme because it is secreted outside of the cell to catalyze the breakdown of starch into simpler sugars in the external environment. This action occurs outside the cell, distinguishing it from endoenzymes, which function within the cell to catalyze intracellular reactions. The location of activity and the role in digestion further highlight its function as an exoenzyme.
What is the shrinking of a cell called?
A plasmolysis solution is the opposite of a hypotonic solution because in a plasmolysis solution the cell will shrink due to the little amount of water outside the cell and the greater amount of water inside the cell. A plasmolysis solution only occurs in plant cells.
What process occurs to chemically convert large molecules into simpler compounds in the cell?
Cellular digestion
Where does cellular digestion and disposal take place?
There are two ways free living single cell organisms digest their food:internally by engulfing it into vacuoles and digesting it inside the vacuolesexternally by secreting enzymes into their environment and absorbing the resulting nutrientsMulticellular organisms all have a dedicated digestive tract and cells outside this do not have to digest any food.
What is a reduction in membrane potential called?
A reduction in membrane potential is called hyperpolarization. This occurs when the inside of the cell becomes more negative than the outside, making it less likely for the cell to generate an action potential.
What is the cell membrame?
the cell membrane is a organell that occurs in the animal cell. Its fuction is a protective barrier beewteen the cytoplasma and the outside cell
