Describe three examples of intracellular digestion by lysosomes?
phagocytosis (ingestion of other dying cells or larger extracellular material, like foreign invading microbes), endocytosis (where receptor proteins are recycled from the cell surface), and autophagy (where in old or unneeded organelles or proteins, or microbes that have invaded the cytoplasm are delivered to the lysosome
What do digested carbohydrates produce?
Carbohydrates are essential nutrients for your body. Your body can't function properly without them. When you eat food your body digests it and breaks down all the molecules you have eaten.
The carbohydrates break down and transform into glucose to fuel your cells.

What happens with mold inside your stomach?
Most of the time you digest it and it becomes food.
Actually, much of the time, if you ingest mold you get what is called "food poisoning." Certain toxins produced by certain molds will not be digested as "food," but instead it affects your digestive system so much so that you can have severe diarrhea, vomitting, or worse. This is why no moldy food should ever be digested. If you have moldy food sitting on the counter or in the fridge, do not eat it: throw it out.

What organ churn food into tick liquid?
The organ that churns food into a thick liquid is the stomach. It uses muscular contractions and gastric juices, including acid and enzymes, to break down food into a semi-liquid substance called chyme. This process is essential for digestion, allowing nutrients to be absorbed in the intestines after the food leaves the stomach.

The structures that contain digestive enzymes are called lysosomes. Lysosomes are organelles that have a single membrane and are basically responsible of ridding waste materials from cells.
