The cell contains ribosomes which produce proteins, and the nucleus contains DNA which codes for proteins. They can work together to produce particular proteins called enzymes which are used to digest food.
Each cell also contains lysosomes which digest any microorganisms within the body. Lysosomes also destroy old organelles in the cell which are no longer needed.
What else can I help you with?
What parts in the mouth aid in digestion?
Every part of the mouth aids in digestion. This includes the tongue and teeth. The mouth is responsible for the first part of digestion.
Which parts of the digestive system aid in chemical digestion?
Is the stomach but begins in the mouth.
What organelles do plants and animals have that other cells don't?
The plant has a cell wall and the animal has a plasma membrane on the outside :) aha yu welcomes
What do animals cells have alot of?
Animal cells have a high concentration of organelles, particularly mitochondria, which are essential for energy production through cellular respiration. They also contain lysosomes, which aid in digestion and waste removal. Additionally, animal cells have a flexible plasma membrane that allows for greater shape variation and interaction with their environment compared to plant cells.
Vacuoles and vesicles aid in?
Vacuoles and vesicles aid in storage, transportation, and digestion within cells. Vacuoles are large membrane-bound organelles that store water, nutrients, and waste products. Vesicles are smaller membrane-bound sacs that transport molecules within the cell or to the cell membrane for secretion.
What is the function of the esophagus in pigs?
The esophagus in pigs functions to transport ingested food from the mouth to the stomach through a process called peristalsis. It is a muscular tube lined with mucus-secreting cells that helps lubricate and aid in the passage of food.
Are hydrochloric acid made in the mouth and salivary glands?
Hydrochloric acid is not produced in the mouth or salivary glands. Salivary glands produce saliva, which helps break down food through enzymes like amylase. Hydrochloric acid is produced in the stomach by parietal cells to aid in digestion.
What uses peristalsis and pepsin to aid digestion?
The stomach uses peristalsis and pepsin to aid digestion.
Why is my saliva so slimy?
Saliva is slimy because it contains mucins, which are proteins that help lubricate and protect the mouth and aid in digestion. The sliminess of saliva helps with swallowing and keeps the mouth moist.
What is cud chewing?
partly digested food that cows and other ruminants return to the mouth, after it has passed into the first stomach, to chew again as an aid to digestion
Digestive juices in the digestive tract include?
Mechanical digestion is the same thing as chewing, or mastication. It does not need any digestive juices, because that is considered chemical digestion. Chemical digestion in the mouth during chewing is mainly by the aid of saliva which has, among other enzymes, salivary amylase which initiates carbohydrate digestion.
What is Human saliva?
Human saliva is a clear, watery liquid that is produced by salivary glands in the mouth. It helps with digestion by breaking down food, moistening the mouth to aid in chewing and swallowing, and protecting the teeth from decay by neutralizing acids. Saliva also contains enzymes that start the digestion process.
