WHICH IS THE FIRST ENZYME TO MIX WITH FOOD IN THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM?
Amylase is the first enzyme to mix with food in the digestive system. It is present in the saliva and help in the digestion of starch.
What process causes the movement of food?
Peristalsis is the process that causes the movement of food through the digestive system. It involves wave-like muscle contractions that push food along the digestive tract. The process helps mix food with digestive juices and move it from the mouth to the stomach and eventually through the intestines for absorption.
What is the large pear shaped bag in the upper part of your belly that mix the swallowed food with digestive juices?
The large pear-shaped bag in the upper part of the belly is called the stomach. It mixes swallowed food with digestive juices such as enzymes and acids to break down food particles into smaller molecules for absorption in the intestines.
What moves food through the small intestine?
Peristalsis, which is the coordinated contraction and relaxation of muscles in the intestinal wall, moves food through the small intestine. This process helps to mix and propel the food along the digestive tract for absorption.
How does the stomach store food?
The stomach stores food by expanding its muscular walls to accommodate the incoming food. This allows the stomach to hold and mix the food with digestive enzymes and acids to begin the breakdown process. The stomach can stretch to hold around 1-1.5 liters of food on average.
WHICH IS THE FIRST ENZYME TO MIX WITH FOOD IN THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM?
Amylase is the first enzyme to mix with food in the digestive system. It is present in the saliva and help in the digestion of starch.
Which is first enzyme to mix with food in digestive system?
The first enzyme to mix with food in the digestive system is amylase, which is produced in the salivary glands. Amylase starts breaking down carbohydrates into smaller molecules such as sugars as soon as food enters the mouth.
What has muscle's that squeeze and mix food as well as acid's that break it down?
The stomach, or digestive system and/or digestive tract.
What do muscular contractions have to do with our digestive system?
The muscular contractions move the food, mix it with digestive juices, and bring the digesting food in contact with the mucosa where absorption takes place.
What do each part of the digestive do?
The Digestive System involve: mouth, stomach and small intestine.---Mouth: --teeth:To chew and grind food into smaller pieces.--tongue:-To roll the chewed food in to a ball and push it down to the gullet. (swallow)-To mix the food with saliva.--saliva:-soften & moisten the food.-break down food in to simplier substences. Because it contain digestive juices.________________________________________________________________---Stomach: (stay for 4 hours)-made of muscules-contain digestive juices-mix food with digestive juice________________________________________________________________---Small intestine: (stay for 4 hours)-contain more digestive juices.-break down food into simplier substences.-absorb the digested food.

What is the function of the muscle in the stomach?
It contractS and relaxes to churn the food and mix it with the bile and other digestive enzymes.
Give a reason why a piece of food is dissolved by digestive enzymes more rapidly if it is chewed first?
because the mouth has saliva glandand mix up with water, mucus and the enzymes amylase
What are the digestive juices produced by the glands found along the food tube?
The digestive glands that act first are in the mouth salivary glands. Saliva produced by these glands contains an enzyme that begins to digest the starch from food into smaller molecules. An enzyme is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions in the body. The next set of digestive glands is in the stomach lining. They produce stomach acid and an enzyme that digests protein. A thick mucus layer coats the mucosa and helps keep the acidic digestive juice from dissolving the tissue of the stomach itself. In most people, the stomach mucosa is able to resist the juice, although food and other tissues of the body cannot. After the stomach empties the food and juice mixture into the small intestine, the juices of two other digestive organs mix with the food. One of these organs, the pancreas, produces a juice that contains a wide array of enzymes to break down the carbohydrate, fat, and protein in food. Other enzymes that are active in the process come from glands in the wall of the intestine. The second organ, the liver, produces yet another digestive juice bile. Bile is stored between meals in the gallbladder. At mealtime, it is squeezed out of the gallbladder, through the bile ducts, and into the intestine to mix with the fat in food. The bile acids dissolve fat into the watery contents of the intestine, much like detergents that dissolve grease from a frying pan. After fat is dissolved, it is digested by enzymes from the pancreas and the lining of the intestine.
What is the first ready-mix food to be sold commercially?
pancake mix
Is meow mix a healthy food for a cat to eat?
Meow Mix is not a healthy cat food. The first ingredients in a quality cat food is protein. The first ingredients in Meow Mix are corn based products.
True or false the stomach is made of strong muscles that mix the food with digestive juices.answers QUICK plz?
True: The stomach muscles churn and mix the food with digestive juices that have acids and enzymes, breaking it into much smaller, digestible pieces. An acidic environment is needed for the digestion that takes place in the stomach.
