In a cell, breakdown usually occurs in lysosomes through various enzymes. However, this relates to cell waste, debris, etc. In terms of food breakdown, enzymes usually do this. Amylase works on starch, pepsin on proteins, and lipase on fat. Also, in a general cell model, lysosomes are usually described as the breakdown mechanism (and also crucial for apoptosis). You would need to ask about specific types of cells in order to get a good answer.

Why are vesicles in pinocytosis smaller then those in phagocytosis?
Because phagocytosis in the endocytosis on solid particles, while pinocytocis is the endocytosis of liquid particles. Liquid particles can be compacted into smaller vesicles then solid particles.
Is a cell or a molecule smaller?
Molecules are smaller. Sub atomic particles are even smaller
What is the conversion of food to smaller particles?
Cytosolic Transfer.
What process tears grinds and mashes large food particles into smaller ones?
Mechanical digestion tears, grinds, and mashes large food particles into smaller ones.
What word describes the process of a heavy atomic nucleus splitting into several smaller particles?
Fission
Why the water flows faster through the cylinders containing large particles than through the cylinders containing smaller particles?
because the surface area of the larger particles propels them faster which has a recipical effect on the water around the particles
Why is the size of rock particles important to soil structure?
The size of rock particles are important to soil structure because the larger particles of sand allow rainwater to drain quickly through the soil, while the smaller particles of clay prevent rapid drainage.
Which organelles releases chemicals that break down large food particle into smaller ones?
Lysosomes are the organelles that release chemicals to break large food particles into small ones.
What are neutrinos composed of?
Neutrinos are considered to be elementary particles without any internal structure (i.e., they are not believed to be composed of yet smaller and more elementary particles.)
In what form did DNA exist before the evolution of cellular organisms?
amino acids formed from chemicals. DNA is a molecule, and it is a molecule containing other smaller molecules. DNA ->Nucleotides -> Amino Acids -> Chemicals.
What refers to the arrangement and number of smaller particles in an atom?
Atomic structure. Lol. Yes, it's true guys. :) just have trust in me, I'm an A+ student. I'm in the honor roll. :)
Weathering that does not involve chemicals?
Mechanical weathering is the breaking of rock into smaller particles without a change in chemistry. An example would be the tumbling and rounding of a pebble in a stream.
What are small round structure in that breaks down large food particles into small ones?
Lysomes are small, round structures in cells that break down large food particles into smaller ones.
Doescolloid has smaller particles than a solution?
a colloid has smaller particles than a solution
What is a atomicity?
Atoms are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements. ... We now know that Atoms are made up of three particles protons neutrons and electrons which are composed of even smaller particles such as quarks
Does particles have particles?
In a way they do, but even smaller "particles" are called atoms.
Can atoms be made of smaller particles?
Yes - all atoms are made of smaller particles. Those particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
