What are specific processes that occur in cells that require enzymes?
digestion
What contains enzymes for intracellular digestion?
The Golgi apparatus. It creates lysosomes.Lysosome: Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes necessary for intracellular digestion. They are common in animal cells, but rare in plant cells.
What would be the definition for a naturally occurring catalyst found in cells?
enzymes
What part of the cells contain enzymes?
The lysosome contains the most enzymes of the cell. This is because the lysosome is the site of cellular digestion.
What are two basic ways that cells can digest a substance?
Cells can digest substances through intracellular digestion, where enzymes break down molecules inside the cell's cytoplasm, or through extracellular digestion, where enzymes are secreted outside the cell to break down larger substances before they are absorbed.
What are naturally occurring enzymes?
Currently all known enzymes are naturally occurring, as synthetic enzymes (that display any significant enzymatic activity) are yet to be developed, owing to the fact that the true mechanism of enzyme catalysis is still under some dispute (e.g. enegry traps, WCM model etc).
Enzyme secreted by acinar cells of pancreas?
Acinar cells of the pancreas secrete digestive enzymes that play a crucial role in the digestion of food. These enzymes include amylase (for carbohydrate digestion), lipase (for fat digestion), and proteases such as trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen (for protein digestion). They are released in an inactive form to prevent self-digestion of the pancreas and are activated in the small intestine. This coordinated release allows for efficient digestion of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract.
Chemical digestion occurs in the small intestine by enzymes from intestinal - brush border cells and the?
These enzymes are anchored into the cells that make up the brush border as integral membrane proteins. These enzymes are found near the transporters that enable absorption of the digested nutrients.
Main organelles of intracellular digestion?
In the process of intracellular digestion, lysosomes are the main organelles. Lysosomes contain enzymes that are made by cells, and their primary function is to digest things.
Where are enzymes secreted from in digestion?
Enzymes in digestion are primarily secreted by the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. Salivary glands release enzymes like amylase during chewing, while the stomach secretes pepsin for protein digestion. The pancreas produces a variety of digestive enzymes, including lipase, proteases, and amylase, which are released into the small intestine to aid in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Additionally, the cells lining the small intestine secrete enzymes that further assist in digestion and nutrient absorption.
What is the function of the digestive enzymes sexreted by cells lining the small intestine?
The function is to complete the digestion of starches, proteins, and fats.
What is proteolysis?
Proteolysis is the directed degradation (digestion) of proteins by cellular enzymes called proteases or by intramolecular digestion.
