The pancreas does not break down food particles. It is an acessory organ.
It does release some enzymes into the stomachthat aid digestion:
- pancreatic amylase - splits glycogen into disaccharides
- pancreatic lipase - breaks down triglycerides
- trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase - digest proteins
- nucleases - digest nucleic acids
- bicarbonate ions - make pancreatic juice alkaline (the stomach is very acid).
What else can I help you with?
Where are lipids broken down?
Lipids are broken down by lipase from the pancreas, located above the Intestines and below the stomach.
Can atoms be broken down into smaller particles?
Yes, atoms can be broken down into smaller particles called subatomic particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What is the name of the particles when atoms are broken down?
Quarks
Is an atom indestructable?
No. Atoms can be broken down into subatomic particles.
A substance that cannot be broken down into atoms were?
They are subatomic particles.
Can particles be broken down into simpler elements?
Particles, such as atoms, can be broken down into simpler components known as subatomic particles, which include protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons can further be divided into quarks, which are fundamental constituents of matter. However, electrons are considered elementary particles and cannot be broken down into simpler components. Thus, while some particles can be simplified into smaller parts, others cannot.
What cannot be broken down into simpler components?
Time and Mass. All particles can be broken down into smaller particles endlessly.
Which gland makes a range of digestive enzymes?
The pancreas has both endocrine and exocrine gland cells so it is a mixed gland.
Why is food a source of energy for the body?
Food is broken down into particles which go into your mitochondria (in your cells), which convert the particles into energy.
What ia the small intestine?
it is a digestive organ in the body that absorbs broken down food, at the start of it the pancreas produces lipases that break down fat. hope this helps.
When elements are broken down into smaller particles what are two of the different particles?
When elements are broken down into smaller particles, two of the main particles are protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons carry a positive charge, while neutrons are neutral. Additionally, electrons, which are negatively charged and orbit the nucleus, are also considered fundamental particles of atoms.
What two organs of the digestive system do not receive food particles directly but function in the digestive process?
The liver and pancreas do not directly receive food particles, but play important roles in the digestive process. The liver produces bile to help digest fats, while the pancreas produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the small intestine.
