What else can I help you with?
Does crude fiber have enzymes?
Crude fiber does, in fact, have enzymes. There are also enzyme supplements that work to help aid the original enzymes in crude fiber digestion. The enzymes digest the crude fibers.
Hardest food for a human to digest?
There are a few top contenders, but it is suspected that the hardest food for a human to digest is bread. In order to digest food, enzymes are needed, which are secreted by the pancreas. Because bread has no naturally occurring enzymes (unlike a lot of other food) the pancreas has to work exceptionally hard, producing extra enzymes to break down the bread. Other food products that are hard to digest include pork, beans, broccoli and whole-milk hard cheese.
What are vesicles which contain enzymes that break down large molcules?
They are called lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles filled with enzymes that help digest large molecules into smaller components. These enzymes work best in the acidic environment inside the lysosome.
Do enzymes in the small intestine need an acidic environment in order to work?
No, the small intestine do not need an acidic environment in order to work. Acid works in stomach to partially digest the food. In the small intestines, fats are digested using bile from the gallbladder which is not acidic.
Can grown ups digest paper?
Answer:To digest paper means: a] to read and absorb the contents of any written work/paper b] literal meaning to eat and digest.Yes.Adults can digest papers/books with full understanding of its content.No. Adults do not develop any new enzymes to digest paper. Paper is made of cellulose and only herbivores (e.g cow) can digest it
How does the pancreas help digest food?
The pancreas secretes bile, a digestive enzyme, into the intestines. Food is broken up and nutrients carried out into the the blood. The pancreas secretes enzymes that include lipases that digest fat, proteases which digest proteins, and amylases which digest starch molecules.
What does the appendix has to do with inability to digest cellulose?
The human appendix is a vestigial organ that no longer serves a significant digestive function. It is not directly related to the body's ability to digest cellulose, which is a complex carbohydrate found in plants. Inability to digest cellulose is due to the lack of necessary enzymes in the human digestive system.
Do saliva work to break down starch into proteins?
It breaks it down and turns it into sugars, and that is why, if you chew starchy foods for long enough, they start to get sweeter.
How does your stomach work to digest food and absorb nutrients?
The stomach works by breaking down food with stomach acid and enzymes. The nutrients are then absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream.
Does emulsification allow enzymes to digest fat quicker?
Yes, emulsification increases the surface area of fat particles, making it easier for enzymes to break them down into smaller molecules, which can help in the digestion of fats. This process allows enzymes, like lipase, to work more effectively and efficiently on breaking down fats into absorbable components.
Complex organic molecules that work with enzymes to facilitate the enzymes?
co-enzymes
The Cecum contains microorganisms which digest cellulose.Why would the presence of these microorganisms be important in the process of digestion?
Herbivorous mammals don't secrete the enzymes required to digest cellulose. They sub-contract the work of cellulose digestion to guest bacteria. The bacteria are provided with a home and lots of food in exchange. Humans don't do this. We have no capacity to digest cellulose. The appendix is the remnant of the Caecum in the human.
