What are specific processes that occur in cells that require enzymes?
digestion
What contains enzymes for intracellular digestion?
The Golgi apparatus. It creates lysosomes.Lysosome: Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes necessary for intracellular digestion. They are common in animal cells, but rare in plant cells.
What would be the definition for a naturally occurring catalyst found in cells?
enzymes
What part of the cells contain enzymes?
The lysosome contains the most enzymes of the cell. This is because the lysosome is the site of cellular digestion.
Chemical digestion occurs in the small intestine by enzymes from intestinal - brush border cells and the?
These enzymes are anchored into the cells that make up the brush border as integral membrane proteins. These enzymes are found near the transporters that enable absorption of the digested nutrients.
Main organelles of intracellular digestion?
In the process of intracellular digestion, lysosomes are the main organelles. Lysosomes contain enzymes that are made by cells, and their primary function is to digest things.
The diversity of chemical reactions occurring in a cell depends mostly on certain molecules present in the cells which are called?
enzymes
Why are enzymes produced?
Enzymes and digestion. The enzymes involved in respiration, photosynthesis and protein synthesis work inside cells. Other enzymesare produced by specialised cells and released from them; the digestive enzymes are like this. They pass out into the gut, where they catalyse the breakdown of food molecules.
What is the function of the digestive enzymes sexreted by cells lining the small intestine?
The function is to complete the digestion of starches, proteins, and fats.
Where are animal cells digestive enzymes in the cell?
Digestive enzymes are contained in vesicles called lysosomes. They are produced by the Golgi body and dispose of worn-out organelles and carry out digestion.
How do enzymes affect food?
Enzymes help in digestion of food by catalyzing the biochemcal reactions between food molecules and chemicals that helps in digestion. Enzymes speed up the biochemical reactions and act as catalysts.
What pancreatic cells aid in digestion?
The cells themselves do not play a role, but they produce enzymes to facilitate digestion by breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones. It is a gland producing above mentioned enzymes externally (in to the lumen of the bowl) and internally (to the blood stream) Insulin/Glucagon.
