What are the disadvantages of a monogastric digestive system?
While there are more advantages than disadvantages of a monogastric digestive system, there are still disadvantages that exist. Animals with a monogastric digestive system are unable to extract energy from the cellulose that they consume in their foods.
What are the digestive enzymes example?
A protease.
How many type of enzymes does your digestive system make?
3 Carbohydrase - Carbohydrates Lipase - Fats Protease - Proteins
What are the 4 regions of the digestive system that produce digestive enzymes?
# Mouth - amylase # Stomach - protease # Pancreas - lipase, carbohydrases, proteases # Small intestine - [ditto pancreas]
Which digestive enzyme begins chemical digestion of protein?
Protease
State where in the digestive system you would find pepsin?
Pepsin is a digestive protease (EC 3.4.23.1) released by the chief cells in the stomach that functions to degrade food proteins into peptides. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsin
What type of enzymes act on pizza when they travel through your digestive system?
Well , this depends on the contents of the pizza ,suppose that the pizza contains proteins , carbohydrates and fats , then :-Amylase acts on Starch in your mouth and through out the oesophagus ;Pepsin ( Protease ) acts on proteins in your stomach ;Pancreatic Protease , Pancreatic Amylase and Lipase act on Fats in the duodenum and through out the rest of the digestive system .There are more substances that act on the pizza , but they aren't enzymes (as bile from liver ).
Where does protease work in the human body and what is its role in biological processes?
Protease works in the human body primarily in the digestive system and plays a crucial role in breaking down proteins into smaller molecules called peptides. This process is essential for the body to absorb nutrients and maintain overall health.
What are the disadvantages of adaptation?
They have problems pooping out the digessted bamboo, because the digestive system cant tell if its processed.
What are three digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates fats and proteins?
carbohydrase lipase and protease amylase
What do you understand by digestive enzymes?
Digestive enzymes are biological catalysts produced by the digestive system that facilitate the breakdown of food into smaller, absorbable molecules. They are secreted by various organs, including the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and small intestine, and include enzymes such as amylase, protease, and lipase. These enzymes target specific macronutrients: amylase breaks down carbohydrates, protease digests proteins, and lipase processes fats. Their efficient action is crucial for proper digestion and nutrient absorption.
What is an example of a specific enzyme in the human body?
urease lipase protease carbohydrase
