The stomach is the organ that produces various acids that will break down the foods eaten as part of the digestive process. However, due to the molecular structure of certain foods, not all are digested at the same rate.

∙ 14y agoNo single organ is capable of digesting food by itself. Digestion is a complex chain of events accomplished by several connected organs.
The small intestine, for example, is not capable of absorbing nutrients from raw food. The food must first pass through the stomach, where the stomach breaks the food down into a paste, known as chyme. Then the stomach passes the chyme through the duodenum, which injects enzymes needed to further process the food. Finally, the food passes into the small intestine, where the body absorbs the nutrients.

However, the substances needed to digest these nutrients aren't made in the small intestine. The substances are created in the liver, pancreas and gallbladder and are then secreted into the small intestine, where the actual act of digestion takes place.

Which accessory digestive organ produces enzymes to break down all food groups?
not the stomach
Why are the enzymes used in cellular respiration virtually identical in all species?
the same genetic code produces those enzymes.

The same genetic code produces those enzymes
Pancreatic fluid contains enzymes that can digest all four types of macromolecules carbohydrates lipids proteins and nucleic acids Into which organ does the pancreas secrete those enzymes?
The pancreas secretes enzymes into organ 4, the small intestine.
What is the most complex of all system in the body?
its the embryonic origin of biological enzymes.
Which tissue or organ that produces and secretes hormones to all cells of the body?
Glands
Would a tissue or an organ have kinds of specialized cells?
since an organ is made of multiple tissues, the organ will have all the specialized cells of multiple tissues. As a result, the organ will have more.
What organ produces enzymes capable of digesting all groups of foodstuffs.?
Only the pancreas produces enzymes that break down all categories of digestible foods:1) along the brush of border enzymes, complete the digestion of starch (pancreatic amylase);2) carry out about half of protein digestion (via the action of trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, and others);3) are totally responsible for fat digestion, because the pancreas is essentially the only source of lipases; and4) digest nucleic acids (nucleases).Source: Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology by Elaine N.

Are almost all enzymes proteins?
Almost all enzymes are proteins; there are only a few exceptions to this rule, including certain kinds of RNA. Enzymes are necessary for important biological processes necessary for life, including digestion.
What organelle breaks down and recycle worn out cells?
The lysosome duty in the cell is to breakdown and recycle cellular debris. Lysosomes have fifty different enzymes that allow the lysosome to break down all kinds of biomolecules.
