What else can I help you with?
What do enzymes have to do with the digestive system?
Enzymes such as salivary amylase help break down starches and carbohydrates during digestion.
Chemical compounds that are converted to glycogen when broken down during digestion?
carbohydrates
Which phase of digestion occurs when you think about see or taste food?
A chemial change because during digestion carbohydrates are converted into simple sugar units,proteins into amino acids and so on, water and enzymes present in the body catalysed these reactions.
What does salivary enzymes do?
Salivary enzymes help to break down carbohydrates and fats in food during the process of digestion. They begin the chemical breakdown of food in the mouth, specifically targeting starches and some fats. This process aids in the overall digestion and absorption of nutrients in the body.
When are enzymes needed?
Enzymes are needed during the process of digestion.
What process breaks down most carbohydrates into simpler forms for absorption in the body?
The process that breaks down most carbohydrates into simpler forms for absorption in the body is called digestion. During digestion, enzymes in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine break down carbohydrates into sugars that can be absorbed by the body.
How is protein converted during digestion?
converted by pepsin.
Which macromolecules can be used for short term energy?
Carbohydrates are the main macromolecules used for short-term energy storage in the human body. When carbohydrates are broken down during digestion, they are converted into glucose, which is then used as a primary source of energy by cells.
Which enzymes are at work during digestion?
During digestion the enzyme in saliva works on cooked food
Is food digestion a chemical or physical change?
Its a chemical change.
Final breakdown of carbonhydrates?
Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose by the body during digestion. Glucose is then used as a source of energy for various cellular functions, stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles, or converted into fat for long-term storage. The process of breaking down carbohydrates begins in the mouth with the enzyme amylase and continues in the small intestine with the help of other enzymes.
What type of gas is consumed by reactions in the the stroma?
Carbon dioxide is consumed by reactions in the stroma during photosynthesis. This gas is converted into carbohydrates with the help of light energy and enzymes.
