Where are animal cells digestive enzymes in the cell?

Digestive enzymes are contained in vesicles called lysosomes. They are produced by the Golgi body and dispose of worn-out organelles and carry out digestion.


What organelles perform the digestive function of the cell?

The digestive organelles of a cell are - peroxisomes, vesicles/vacuoles and lysosomes.Peroxisomes are single membrane sacs that contain digestive enzymes that break down toxic materials in a cell. They also break down fatty acids to sugars.Vacuoles/vesicles are found in plant cells and some animal cells. Vacuoles and vesicles are membrane bound but the vacuoles are stationary and vesicles can move within the cell.Vacuoles are of three different types - food vacuoles, contractile vacuoles and central vacuoles.food vacuoles are involved in ingesting food into the cell through a process called phagocytosiscontractile vacuoles are found in fresh water protists and are involved in pumping excess water out of the cellcentral vacuoles are found in mature plant cells that store water so that the plants do not dieVesicles are of two different types -transport vesicles that take the protein from the rough Endoplasmic Reticulum and transport it to the Golgi Bodiessecretory vesicles that carry the finished proteins to the cell membranesLysosomes are vesicles that are sacs containing digestive enzymes, These are found only in animal cells. Their function is to digest macromolecules and clean up any dead organelles. For cellular digestion the lysosomes fuse with the food vacuole to break down the polymers.


What is the digest Center in a cell?

The lysosome is the organelle within a cell that serves as its digestion center. Lysosomes use enzymes to carry out those functions.

Vacuoles are the little sacs that carry out molecules.

Would the blood vessels carry digestive juices to the digestive system?

Blood vessels do not carry digestive juices to the digestive system. Digestive juices are either secreted directly into the lumen of the digestive tract, or are carried by ducts, as with bile and pancreatic juice.


Why Cells that carry on digestion within the cell do not partly digest themselves because they secrete their digestive enzymes into membrane-enclosed?

Cells that carry out digestion internally, such as lysosomes, contain digestive enzymes that are enclosed within membrane-bound compartments. This membrane prevents the enzymes from coming into contact with the cell's own structures, thereby protecting the cell from self-digestion. Additionally, the acidic environment inside lysosomes is optimized for enzyme activity, ensuring that they effectively break down substrates without harming the cell itself. This compartmentalization is crucial for maintaining cellular integrity and function.


Do animals contain central vacuoles?

As far as I know, they don't. some animal cells do have vacuoles, but they are not as big as those in plant cells. also, an animal cell can have many small vacuoles. some animal cells do not have vacuoles, because the functions that vacuoles carry out in a plant cell are performed by the lysosomes of the animal cell.


What organelle is specialized to carry out cellular respiration?

Chloroplast


What does blood pick up from the digestive system and takes it to the cells?

The circulatory system picks up nutrients from the digestive system and takes them to the cells. Absorption is the process of moving the nutrients from the digestive system to the circulatory system.


How does the body breakdown food?

By enzymes, The way in which enzymes actually work is extremely complicated so we use the models to think about them. A good model tries to represent the known facts about something. A model about digestive enzymes needs to try to represent these facts: · Enzymes turn large molecules into smaller ones. · Enzymes do not get used up as they carry out their tasks. · Enzymes change shape as they work. · Each enzyme only works on one particular type of molecule.


Does the mitochondria carry enzymes for photosynthesis?

Enzymes for photosynthesis are in chloroplasts.Mitochondria are responsible for respiration.
