1. The small intestine is LONG- this ensures food remains in the small intestine long enough for the products of digestion to be fully absorbed into the bloodstrem.
2. The Small intestine is HIGHLY FOLDED into villi (s. villus)- This gives a greater surface area for more efficient diffusion of products into the bloodstream.
3. The small intestine has a RICH BLOOD SUPPLY - Each villus has a network of capillaries so that the products of digestion are carried away from the small intestine efficiently.
4. The epithelium of the small intestine in the villi is only ONE CELL THICK - for easier diffusion of the products of digestion into the bloodstream. The walls of the capillaries are only one cell thick as well!!
What else can I help you with?
What cellular structures is involved in intracellular digestion Golgi apparatus ribosomes lysosomes?
The main cellular structures involved in intracellular digestion are lysosomes and the Golgi apparatus. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down complex molecules, while the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages these enzymes for transport to the lysosomes. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis and do not directly participate in intracellular digestion.
Which protozoan organelle is responsible for digestion?
The organelle primarily responsible for intracellular 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.
Which cell organelle is responsible for intracellular digestion?
The Golgi Apparatus aka Golgi Complex produces lysozomes which will combine with it and digest them. If you are wondering what a Golgi Apparatus is then it is basically a "warehouse" to store and export proteins. The proteins come from the ribosomes which creates them.
What is A membrane-bound vesicle found in the cytoplasm of a cell whose function includes intracellular secretion excretion storage and digestion.?
The membrane-bound vesicle you are referring to is a lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that facilitate the digestion of macromolecules and cellular debris, playing a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. They are involved in intracellular secretion and storage, as well as the excretion of waste products from the cell. Additionally, lysosomes participate in various cellular processes, including autophagy and apoptosis.
Do mollusks undergo extracellular digestion or intracellular digestion?
Intracellular
What is the primary site of the intracellular digestion?
The primary site of intracellular digestion are the lysosomes.
Is centipede digestion extracellular or intracellular?
Centipede digestion is intracellular. They have a digestive system where food is broken down within specialized cells through intracellular processes.
Organism which utilizes intracellular digestion?
Unicellular eukaryotes achieve intracellular digestion through the process of endocytosis, phagocytosis, and use of food vacuoles and lysosomes. A paramecium is an example of an organism that uses intracellular digestion vs. humans which utilize extracellular digestion.
Is paramecium digestion extracellular?
No. its intracellular.
Is earthworm digestion extracellular or intracellular?
It is extracellular
Contains enzymes for intracellular digestion?
Lysosomes
Do all vertebrates have intracellular digestion?
Nope.
Can fungi carry out intracellular digestion?
YES
What type of digestion system do paramecium have?
intracellular
What advantage is there to the extracellular digestion of cnidarians over the intracellular digestion of sponges?
nothing maufuddaah
Is intracellular or extracellular digestion is immediate energy?
intracellullar
