Enzymes are globular proteins which catalyze almost all the biochemical reactions in our body,without being chemically changed.If enzymes cease to exist, these reactions would proceed, but way too slowly for life to continue.So, enzymes are necessary for cell survival.

Peristalsis is the coordinated muscle contractions that help move food through the digestive tract. It is essential for mixing food with digestive enzymes, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste from the body. Without peristalsis, food would not move effectively through the digestive system, leading to digestive issues and potential blockages.


Why are bound ribosomes and Golgi complexes especially abundant cells that digestive enzymes?

Bound ribosomes help synthesize digestive enzymes, which are then transported to the Golgi complex for further modification and packaging. The Golgi complex then packages the enzymes into vesicles for secretion or for use within the cell. This process results in an abundance of bound ribosomes and Golgi complexes in cells that need high levels of digestive enzymes for their functions.
