Sac of digestive enzymes?
A lysosome is a sac of digestive enzymes, used to break down monosaccharaides and disaccharides. Lysosomes are found in animal cells and are also called suicide sacs.
Where in the cell are cell enzymes located?
Enzymes are formed the same way other proteins are formed - mRNA from the nucleus is transcribed by the ribosomes and the primary structure is formed. The ribosome guides the amino acid chain into folding into its secondary and tertiary structure; this is done partially in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and partially in the cytoplasm. Some cells also have lysosomes where the final activation of the enzyme takes place.
In autotrophic bacteria where are the enzymes located than can carry on organic synthesis?
free in the cytosol
What is the location of lysosomes in a cell?
AnswerIt is located at the periphery of the cell near the Golgi.
Are there cells that hold digestive juices?
The cells that hold digestive juices are called the gastric chief cells. These are located in the stomach that secretes enzymes for protein breakdown.
What are lysome?
Lysosomes are the organelles that are responsible for breaking down the cellular waste in animal cells. Lysosomes are located in the cytoplasm of the cell.
What is the role of the pancres?
The PANCREAS is an organ which secretes hormones (insulin, glucagon) and enzymes (trypsin, lipase). It is part of the digestive and gastrointestinal system.
What digestive juice are poured into the food tube from glands outside the food tube?
Technically, most named digestive enzymes and secretions are made by glands located outside of the "tube" of the gastrointestinal tract. For instance, the salivary glands are located between the muscles of the jaw and face, and secrete saliva into the mouth through salivary ducts. Bile is created by the liver, stored in the gallbladder and then secreted into the small intestine; pancreatic enzymes (there are a bunch of them) are made in the pancreas then secreted into the small intestine as well.
Where is glucokinase located intracellularly?
equilibriates between the nucleus and cytosol
What is the function job of the panceas?
The pancreas is a gland organ that is located in the abdomen. It is part of the digestive system and produces important enzymes and hormones that help break down foods.
Where are digestive systems located?
the digestive system is located near your stomach
What organ breaks down nutrients?
The gastrointestional system digests food.
