What is the purpose of a food vacuole?
The food vacuole is also called as digestive vacuole. It is an organelle that can be found in parasites. This is the organelle that causes malaria.
What is the name of the membrane that surrounds the vacuole?
It is called the vacuolar membrane.Sometimes it is referred to as the vacuole membrane. The membrane round the large central vacuole in plants it is also called the tonoplast.
How does a paremecium eat?
A paramecium eats by using it's cilia to sweep bacteria or food in it's oral groove, which then goes to it's gullet, where it is digested and then the digested fooed is sent to the food vacuole.
What is the accessory organ to digestion that produces most of the digestive enzymes called?
The pancreas is the accessory organ to digestion that produces most of the digestive enzymes. These enzymes are released into the small intestine to help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in food for absorption.
What cell organelle is known as the suicide bag of the cell?
Lysosome contain digestive enzymes for almost all type of organic material. If their covering membrane breaks as it happens during injury to cell, the digestive enzymes will spill over cell content and digest the same. As lysosomes are organelles which on bursting can kill cells possessing them ,they are called suicide sacs.
Where in the human body would you find cells specialized to produce digestive enzymes?
Cells specialized to produce digestive enzymes are primarily found in the pancreas, specifically within clusters called acini. These acinar cells secrete digestive enzymes into the small intestine to aid in the breakdown of food. Additionally, specialized cells in the stomach lining, such as gastric chief cells, also produce digestive enzymes like pepsin.
What is the structure within a protozoan where enzymes are secreted to digest?
The structure within a protozoan where enzymes are secreted to digest is called the food vacuole. The food vacuole is responsible for engulfing and breaking down food particles through the action of digestive enzymes. Once digestion is complete, the protozoan absorbs the nutrients from the food vacuole.
What is the place where digestion occurs in protozoa?
It is called a digestive vacuole.
What are digestive chemicals called?
enzymes
What vacuole does a paramecium digest food in?
Paramecium digests food in a specialized vacuole known as the food vacuole. After the organism consumes food through its oral groove, the food particles are enclosed in this vacuole, where enzymes break them down into usable nutrients. The nutrients are then absorbed by the paramecium, while waste products are expelled from the cell through a process called exocytosis.
What are chemicals found in the digestive process called?
They are called digestive enzymes. There are many that are used in the process, beginning in the mouth with enzymes that begin the break down of starches.
Large vesicles that stores enzymes or liquids?
The special vesicles containing enzymes are called Lysosomes.
What is the purpose of a food vacuole?
The food vacuole is also called as digestive vacuole. It is an organelle that can be found in parasites. This is the organelle that causes malaria.
How does amoeba feed?
Amoebas feed by engulfing food particles through a process called phagocytosis. They extend their pseudopods around the food particle, forming a food vacuole that contains the particle. Digestive enzymes are then secreted into the food vacuole to break down the food for absorption.
What is the name of the membrane that surrounds the vacuole?
It is called the vacuolar membrane.Sometimes it is referred to as the vacuole membrane. The membrane round the large central vacuole in plants it is also called the tonoplast.
What are specialized vesicles containing enzymes?
The special vesicles containing enzymes are called Lysosomes.
The organelles that contain the cell's digestive enzymes are?
They are called Lysosomes :).
