The process you are referring to is called digestion and it occurs in living organisms to break down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used for energy. In cells, a process known as autophagy uses chemicals to break down and recycle worn out cell parts, helping maintain cellular function and health.
What else can I help you with?
Where are certain chemicals placed on plant cells and begin to change shape and become less rigid?
Certain chemicals, such as auxins and gibberellins, are placed on the cell walls of plant cells, initiating a process called cell elongation. These chemicals promote the activation of enzymes that break down the cell wall components, making the cell walls less rigid. As a result, the plant cell can expand and grow in size.
What is a range of adaptations evolved by organisms which improve their survival rate when subjected to potentially harmful or lethal chemicals?
Organisms have evolved adaptations such as detoxification enzymes to break down harmful chemicals, efflux pumps to remove toxins from cells, and changes in cell membrane permeability to limit entry of toxic substances. These adaptations help organisms survive in environments with potentially harmful chemicals.
Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of what?
Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of enzymes and reactive oxygen species (such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide) to effectively kill and eliminate the bacteria. These substances help the immune cells to break down and degrade the bacteria's cell wall and components.
A jellylike substance containing chemicals that keep the cell functioning?
The jellylike substance you are referring to is the cytoplasm, which contains various chemicals and organelles necessary for the cell's survival and function. These chemicals include enzymes, ions, nutrients, and other molecules required for cellular processes like metabolism, growth, and replication.
What are the lifeless chemicals which may be secretions or serve as storage areas of a cell?
Inorganic crystals can serve as storage areas within a cell, such as the calcium phosphate crystals in bones. Secretions like mucus, which contain glycoproteins and other compounds, can also be considered lifeless chemicals in a cell.
What used chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts?
lysosomes
What organelles known as contain chemicals that break down food particles and old cell parts?
lysosomes (lol)
What contains many chemicals in a cell?
There are two parts of a cell that contain chemicals: lysosomes and peroxisomes.
What vacuole-like structures break down and recycle cell parts?
Which vacuole- like structures break down and recycle cell parts
What uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell?
lysosomes
What contains chemicals to break through things a egg cell or a sperm cell?
A sperm cell contains chemicals to break through things. This is because on the sperm's way to the egg (fertilization) it has to get past many other things and needs a specially strengthened head to break through things.
What has chemicals that break down food particles and worn out cell parts in the animal cell?
Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down food particles and worn-out cell parts in animal cells. They are considered the cell's "garbage disposal" system, helping to maintain cellular health and function by digesting and recycling waste materials.
What organelle can be used for storage of waste products?
The organelle that can be used for storage of waste products is called the lysosome. The lysosome also contains chemicals that break down old cell parts.
What organelles contain chemicals that break down food particles and old cell parts?
Lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes that break down food particles and old cell parts through a process called hydrolysis. They help maintain cellular health by recycling nutrients and helping to remove waste materials.
Which organelle break down worn out cell parts?
Lysosomes..
Organelles that contain enzymes that break down old cell parts?
Lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes responsible for breaking down old cell parts, waste materials, and foreign invaders. They play a crucial role in cellular waste management and recycling processes.
Which structure within an animal cell recycles worn-out cell parts?
The structure within an animal cell that recycles worn-out cell parts is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down old organelles, proteins, and other cellular components into their basic building blocks, which can then be reused by the cell to make new molecules.
