What else can I help you with?
Why do we break down food?
We break down food so we get things like water and nutriants into our blood!
Why must fungi digest their food before it can pass through the cell wall into the hyphae?
Fungi must digest their food outside the cell because they secrete enzymes to break down complex molecules into simpler ones that can be absorbed. The nutrients are then absorbed through the cell wall into the hyphae for further transport and utilization by the fungal organism.
Why must the stomach be acidic?
The fluids in the stomach have to be acidic to digest and break down food that comes in.
Why must chemical digestion must start before chemical digestion?
Mechanical digestion must come first because it helps break down food
How do the animalia family consume their food?
Animals in the kingdom Animalia are heterotrophic. Therefore, they cannot create their own food or break down waste for food. They must consume food.
Why must mechanical digestion start before chemical digestion?
Mechanical digestion must come first because it helps break down food
Why must mechanical digestion start before mechanical digestion?
Mechanical digestion must come first because it helps break down food
Write down in your own words the two main functions of the digestive system?
1) Food must be taken in by the mouth.2) the mechanical and chemical break down of food by chewing and enzymes.
Why must food be digested for the use of the body?
food must be digested cuz the food we ingest is not a form usable by our bodies. therefore digestion is necessary to break down food in its complex, insoluble, inorganic form to a simple, soluble, organic form
Is it true that to use lactose for food e. coli must take lactose across its cell membrane?
Yes, for E. coli to utilize lactose as a food source, it must transport lactose across its cell membrane. This process typically involves specific transport proteins, such as the lactose permease, which facilitate the movement of lactose into the bacterial cell. Once inside, E. coli can metabolize lactose through enzymatic action, primarily using β-galactosidase to break it down into glucose and galactose.
Why is it important for people to chew their food thoroughly before swallowing?
Food digestion occurs through chemical and physical digestion. Physically, the teeth and tongue break down food, which combined with enzymes in saliva, breaks down food before it enters the stomach. Chewing food thoroughly allows the chemicals, which aid in digestion, to access a larger surface area to interact with. Physically breaking down food well decreases the chemical work your body must preform to break down food and increases nutritional absorption.
Fungi typically digest their food?
in its atmosphere on decaying material to break it down to a form that it can consume
