Where does fat digestion begins?
Fat digestion begins in the start of the small intestine, where emulsification by bile breaks it up physically and lipase acts on it to speed its conversion to fatty acids and glycerol.
What is the importance of enzymes in a biological process?
Speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy.
Could chemical digestion take place if mechanical digestion did not occur?
Mechanical digestion, i.e. your body breaking up the food into smaller pieces, is largely meant to speed chemical digestion up. We know that the rate at which the chemical reaction takes place is dependent on four things: the physical state of the reactants involved in the reaction, the temperature at which the reaction takes place, the concentration of the reactants, and the presence of a catalyst. Each influences the rate of reaction in different ways. Mechanical digestion breaks the food into smaller pieces, i.e. changes the physical state. With the larger pieces broken into smaller ones, more surface area is exposed. With greater surface area exposure, chemical digestion can take place much more rapidly. However, if for some reason you could get just huge chunks of food down your throat without chewing it, your stomach still churns (mechanical digestion) and the contractions in your intestines also help to break up food. So technically yes, chemical digestion would take place, but at a much slower and inefficient manner.
What type of digestion is produced by breaking down and chewing food?
Chemical digestion
What is the second stage of digestion?
it is digestion trololo
What enzyme do in digestion?
speed up chemical reation....breaking down food
Why is bile important?
bile salts in bile speed up fat digestion
Can you consider enzymes as catalysts?
Yes, since enzymes speed up the chemical process that is digestion.
Does chilli pepper speed up the rate of digestion in the stomach?
I've heard it speeds it up as much as 30% faster
Chemical digestion would not be possible without that speed up the rate of chemical reations in your body?
enzymes
Which proteins speed up chemical reactions?
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are called biological catalysts as well. Examples include Protease(speeds up digestion of proteins), Lipase(digestion of fats), Cellulase(digestion of cellulose),etc.
Where in the body does chemical digestion take place and they are controlled by?
Chemical digestion occurs through out the digestive tract with the possible exception of the esophagus. It is regulated by enzymes that help speed it up.
1 Chemical digestion would not be possible without that speed up the rate of chemical reactions in your body?
enzymes
What is the name for the substances that speed up digestion?
Anything, in the digestive system or in other systems, that speed up reactions are called enzymes.
What is the method enzymes speed up chemical reactions?
amylase speed up chemical reaction by reacting with your stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) this breaks down the food to help speed up the digestion. WOULD YOU LIKE A MINT? AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT...
Where does fat digestion begins?
Fat digestion begins in the start of the small intestine, where emulsification by bile breaks it up physically and lipase acts on it to speed its conversion to fatty acids and glycerol.
Can a sweet cherry digest?
The sweet cherries can be chewed thoroughly for better digestion. This will speed up the digestion process and the sweet cherries can digest just as any other foods. Sweet cherries can digest.
