What is the structure within a protozoan where enzymes are secreted to digest?

The structure within a protozoan where enzymes are secreted to digest is called the food vacuole. The food vacuole is responsible for engulfing and breaking down food particles through the action of digestive enzymes. Once digestion is complete, the protozoan absorbs the nutrients from the food vacuole.


Does digestive enzymes will still function in the small intestin?

The small intestine is the site of work of some digestive enzymes that are secreted there. It is not an ideal site for the continued work of enzymes from the stomach, as the pH is not hospitable for the work of those gastric enzymes.

The long branching cavity where digestive enzymes are secreted?

The long branching cavity where digestive enzymes are secreted is known as the gastrointestinal tract, specifically the intestines. In the small intestine, enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver aid in the digestion of food. This cavity is crucial for nutrient absorption, facilitating the breakdown of complex food into simpler molecules. The large intestine subsequently absorbs water and electrolytes, completing the digestive process.


What do enzymes do to help digestion?

The enzymes a group of proteins secreted by or into the digestive tract and help to act on the ingested food to break it down to simpler compounds for absorption and assimilation. Some enzymes just speed up the work of other enzymes and are said to have catalytic effect. The enzymes may act as pro-enzymes. The enzymes are not always breaking down complex food particles but some also join simpler particles to make complex and storable food or tissue.

How does a paramecium eat?

A paramecium eats by using its cilia to sweep food particles into its oral groove. The food particles are then engulfed by the paramecium and enclosed in a food vacuole. Digestive enzymes are then secreted into the food vacuole to break down the food particles for absorption.
