What contains enzymes to digest bacteria and other foreign substances?
you dont digest bacteria
What produces chemicals such as enzymes to digest food?
the duodenum
Why is bacteria helpful in food?
foods contain enzymes and bacteria that help digest food and eliminate wastes.
How does pH 3 benefit the working stomach?
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 produces what?
The stomach produces several chemicals to digest food. Some are enzyme pepsin, hydrochloric acid, gastric lipase and pepsinoge, which are digestive enzymes.
Can carnivores digest cellulose?
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
Does the pancreas manufacture enzymes to digest all energy-yielding nutrients in the diet?
Yes. It also produces nucleases and proteases.
How are bacteria eating styles similar to humans?
Both use enzymes and digest within the body.
What does a lysosomes do for the cell?
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. for the plant they digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed bacteria or viruses.
What cell organelle contain digestive enzymes?
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.
What do pancreatic enzymes digest?
The pancreatic enzymes amylase, trypsin and lipase digest proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates and starches.
What does the stomach produce?
The stomach produces several chemicals to digest food. Some are enzyme pepsin, hydrochloric acid, gastric lipase and pepsinoge, which are digestive enzymes.
