it is more efficient because we are able to break down the food particles to increase surface area exposed to enzymes before hydrolysis
increased surface area which allows for more efficient digestion
the monogastric as it can digest all types of food
There are symbiotic relationships between animals and bacteria in the digestive area. The animals give the bacteria a place to live and the bacteria help break down food. Digestion would be a lot more difficult without these symbiotic relationships.
Mechanical digestion chops the food in to smaller pieces, thus exposing more of it to the enzymes of the chemical digestion.Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth by the teeth, tongue and saliva. Mechanical digestion is important for chemical digestion because when food is broken down into smaller particles by mechanical means, chemical digestion will be more efficient.
Both are equally efficient. Since they are two different systems designed for two different animals there is no point in comparing them.
No. The digestion of solids in the septic tank is done by bacteria. Adding more bacteria like Lactobacillus will not hurt.
A catalyst in digestion helps to speed up chemical reactions in the body without being consumed itself. In digestion, enzymes act as catalysts to break down food molecules into smaller components that can be absorbed by the body. This process helps to make digestion more efficient.
Yes they are!! In fact we are more organisms than human cells if you count the number of cells. Bacteria reside in the gut responsible for the digestion of many food nutrients we consume. some enzymes what we do not have is presenting in bacteria!Yes, it is.
Consuming garlic aids in digestion by stimulating the production of digestive enzymes that help break down food more efficiently. Garlic also has prebiotic properties that promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, which can improve overall digestion and gut health.
Enzymes are protein-based substances that enhance digestion by acting as biological catalysts, making chemical reactions more likely to happen. They speed up the breakdown of large molecules into smaller, more easily absorbable components during the digestion process, promoting efficient nutrient absorption.
Bacteria can evolve more quickly than mammals because they have shorter generation times, larger population sizes, and the ability to exchange genetic material through horizontal gene transfer. These factors allow bacteria to adapt rapidly to changing environmental conditions and develop resistance to antibiotics.
No it does not. It only emulsifies fats, creating a greater total surface area for more efficient digestion by enzymes such as lipase.
