What acts as the digestive system of the cell breaking down materials?
Lysosomes act as the digestive system of the cell, breaking down materials such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates into smaller molecules that can be used by the cell. They contain enzymes that help in the breakdown process.
What is the primary function of a digestive system?
The primary function of the digestive system is to supply the cells of the body with nutrition. It does this by ingestion, digestion, and absorption. The waste materials that are not used are then eliminated.
The main function of the human digestive system is to-?
The primary function of the digestive system is to disassemble food we consume into its component molecules, so it can be used as energy for the body. There are many stages in the process of digestion.
What pair of body systems provide the raw materials that cells need for energy?
The respiratory system brings in oxygen from the air, which is used by cells in the process of producing energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The circulatory system then transports this oxygen through the blood to the cells where it can be used in cellular respiration to generate energy.
How is the digestive system vital to the human body?
The Digestive System is vital to the human body becasue it breaks down all of the food we eat into molecules. These molecules can then be absorbed into the bloodstream eventually to be used by the cells. The digestive system is made up of many different organs, all of which help with the process of taking the nutrients out of the food we eat, and turning it into energy for our bodies cells. Once all the nutrients has been transfered into energy and stored into the cells of the body, the undigestable food is then passed through the anus as faeces.
What is used by both digestive system and respiratory system?
a worm
What is used by both respiratory system and digestive system?
a worm
How is the mitochondria and the digestive system similar?
Both the mitochondria and the digestive system are involved in generating energy for the body. The mitochondria produce ATP through cellular respiration, while the digestive system breaks down food to extract nutrients that can be used for energy production. Both systems play essential roles in providing the necessary energy for cellular functions.
What is the pathway for materials to travel?
Materials travel through the body by first entering the bloodstream through absorption in the digestive system, inhalation in the respiratory system, or direct injection. They are then transported to target tissues and organs by the circulatory system. Once delivered, the materials can be used for various functions or eliminated from the body through excretion.
What is the name of the system that is used after we have eaten a meal?
We use the digestive system.
What human body system performs a function similar to that of the vascular system of a plant?
Xylem and phloem make up the nutrient transportation system of vascular plants, and in a human could probably be thought of as rough equivalents of the circulatory system (blood) and the digestive tract.
What organelles are used in the digestive system?
A lot of stuff.
