Dunno i think they just somehow magically break down the large food molecules


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

What is the role of a enzymes inside a lysosome?

they break down larger molecules If a cell organisation is disturbed , lysosomes break down and digest.


Why do large molecules need to be broken down into smaller molecules in the digestive system?

When large molecules are broken down they actually turn into a different substance. Proteins break down into amino acids. Lipids break down into fatty acids. Carbohydrates break down into simple sugars. And those are just a few of them. Large molecules need to break down so that they can change into other substances so they can dissolve or help the body another way.

Do enzymes digest protein?

Enzymes are a type of proteins themselves but what enzymes do is they break down large macromolecules into smaller molecules that can be reassembled to synthesize materials. So enzymes can break things down and build them up, proteins included.


Chains of enzyme reactions that break down or build molecules are called pathways?

What effect do hydrolysis enzyme's have on the rate at which large organic molecules break down?

The Enzymes speed up the process in which orgaic molecules breakown. They help the molecules break down. Therefore speeding up the process. Thats the Low-down. Hope it helped :)


How do microorganisms break down materials?

They digest food with enzymes; breaking down large molecules into small ones.

Does dehydration synthesis build or break down molecuels?

Build. Dehydration is a condensation reaction - monomers (small molecules) react together to form larger molecules (polymers) - and water is eliminated when they link together.
