Membrane encased cell organelles, called lysosomes, act as the stomach for the cell. Lysosomes contain powerful digestive enzymes that would actually break down and kill the host cell if they ever got loose. The lysosome is used to break down proteins, complex polysaccharides, and fat molecules into simple sugars, sugars that the cell can easily use to make energy.
What else can I help you with?
What part of the body is like lysosomes?
One part of the human body that is like lysosomes is the stomach. The human intestines are also like lysosomes.
How does DNA direct a cell to become a muscle cell or a stomach cell?
DNA contains instructions for making different proteins that determine the function of a cell. When specific genes are turned on or off, it directs a cell to differentiate into a muscle cell or a stomach cell through a process called gene expression, where certain proteins are produced to give the cell its specialized function. Different combinations of gene expression lead to different cell types in the body.
What part of a plants cell acts as a goalie?
The cell membrane acts as a "goalie" for a plant cell, controlling what substances can enter and exit the cell to maintain internal balance.
Is a stomach cell a haploid or a diploid cell?
All of the cells in a human body, including the stomach are diploid. There is one cell that is not diploid and that is the sex cell. It is haploid.
Which organ acts a storage sac?
The urinary bladder acts as a storage sac for urine in the body.
What cellular structure acts like a stomach for a cell?
vacuoles
What acts like a stomach for the cell storing and breaking down?
In the animal cell: Lysosome In the plant cell: Central Vacuole
Which cellular structure acts like a stomach for the cell storing and breaking down?
vacuoles
Which cellular structure acts like a stomach for a cell storing and breaking down material?
vacuoles
How does mucus work?
Mucus acts like lining to catch debris in the air; in the stomach it acts like a thick coating to help the stomach keep its acidic environment normal, so the acid wont burn through the stomach
These Acts like stomachs in a cell?
These acts refer to lysosomes in a cell. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes responsible for breaking down cellular waste material and debris. Just like the stomach which breaks down food, lysosomes break down cellular components for recycling or disposal.
What cell part acts like a stomach breaking down material?
Materials are broken down by lysosmes. They are the recycle bin
What act like a mixer in your digestive system?
I believe it is your stomach that acts like a mixer because it breaks food down.
2 Which organelle acts like the brain of the cell?
the cell membrane
What part of the cells do we say acts like the skin on your body?
The cell membrane acts like the skin on your body because it coats the outside of the cell and protects the organelles.
What acts like the cell membrane?
Vaginal fluid
What acts like a mailroom of a cell?
Golgi apparatus
