What else can I help you with?
What contains enzymes to digest bacteria and other foreign substances?
you dont digest bacteria
What produces chemicals such as enzymes to digest food?
the duodenum
Why is bacteria helpful in food?
foods contain enzymes and bacteria that help digest food and eliminate wastes.
How does pH 3 benefit the working stomach?
It's very acidic so it will provide the conditions for enzymes to multiply and it will kill off bacteria. Acid DOES NOT digest the food, ENZYMES digest the food
Are bacteria able to digest agar?
Most bacteria are not able to digest agar directly because they lack the enzymes required to break down the complex sugars in agar. However, some bacteria, such as certain species of marine bacteria, have the ability to produce enzymes that can degrade agar into simpler sugars that they can then metabolize.
What secretes enzymes that digest food outside their bodies?
Fungi and some bacteria secrete enzymes that digest food outside their bodies. This process allows them to break down nutrients into simpler forms that they can then absorb.
Why can some organisms not digest cellulose and which organisms are capable of digesting it?
Some organisms cannot digest cellulose because they lack the necessary enzymes to break it down. Organisms like cows, termites, and certain bacteria have specialized enzymes that allow them to digest cellulose.
Which structure produces enzymes that digest protein?
The structure that produces enzymes that digest protein is the pancreas. It secretes digestive enzymes, including proteases such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, into the small intestine, where they break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Additionally, the stomach also contributes to protein digestion through the secretion of pepsin, which is activated in the acidic environment.
The stomach produces what?
The stomach produces several chemicals to digest food. Some are enzyme pepsin, hydrochloric acid, gastric lipase and pepsinoge, which are digestive enzymes.
Can carnivores digest cellulose?
NoHumans are unable to digest cellulose because the appropriate enzymes to breakdown the beta acetal linkages are lacking. (More on enzyme digestion in a later chapter.) indigestible cellulose is the fiber which aids in the smooth working of the intestinal tract.Animals such as cows, horses, sheep, goats, and termites have symbiotic bacteria in the intestinal tract. These symbiotic bacteria possess the necessary enzymes to digest cellulose in the GI tract. They have the required enzymes for the breakdown or hydrolysis of the cellulose; the animals do not, not even termites, have the correct enzymes. No vertebrate can digest cellulose directly.One of the comments indicated the reader is confused as to whether termites have the necessary enzymes to digest cellulose. The answer indicates, correctly, that they do not have the enzymes (innately). Instead, they have a symbiotic relationship with a bacteria that provides the needed enzymes. In other words, they have them, but only because a friendly organism supplies them with them.Reference: http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/547cellulose.htmlfalse
Does the pancreas manufacture enzymes to digest all energy-yielding nutrients in the diet?
Yes. It also produces nucleases and proteases.
What organ produces enzymes that break down nutrients?
The pancreas produces enzymes that break down nutrients in the digestive system. These enzymes include amylase, lipase, and proteases, which help digest carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, respectively. The pancreas releases these enzymes into the small intestine, where they play a crucial role in nutrient absorption.
