Digestive System

The endogenous water in the gastrointestinal tract comes from secretions produced by the digestive system, such as saliva, gastric juices, pancreatic juices, and bile. This water is essential for the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the gut.

Do you mean Enzyme?

Enzymes are proteins that participate in cellular metabolic processes with the ability to enhance the rate of reaction between biomolecules. Some enzymes can even reverse a reaction from the direction it would normally take, by reducing the activation energy (Ea) to the extent that the reaction favours the reverse direction. Simlarly, enzymes can catalyze reactions that might not otherwise occur, by lowering the Ea to a more "affordable" level for the cell.

Enzymes can be isolated using various protein purification methods. The purity of an enzyme preparation is measured by determining it's specific activity

The enzymes in the saliva works fastest at optimum temperature (Body temperature) around 37 degrees Celsius.

Actually, that's not completely accurate. The higher the temperature, the faster the rate of any chemical reaction, and that's also true of the enzymes in the human body. Our body temperature is regulated right around 37 degrees centigrade (98.6 F), but your body temp can increase, and it does during hard exercise or when you're feverish. At those higher temperatures the enzymes will work more rapidly than they do at 37 degrees.

Now, why should that be the case? Why not operate always at optimum temperature?

Because as temperature increases, we eventually arrive at a point at which the enzymes begin to denature and stop working. When that happens, the individual dies, which is not a good thing. That's why your body's normal operating temperature is not the optimum temperature for your enzymes. If your body temperature was regulated at optimum temperature under relaxed conditions, when you began to exercise or when you got a fever, your enzymes would denature and you'd die. Regulating your body's temperature at a point 4 or 5 degrees below optimum represents an important safety factor.

As the bible states nobody is perfect but god forgives all sins such as lieing. On the other hand an average person lies more than one billion times every five years! So you do the math to what ever your question is.

The mouth is involved in both chemical and mechanical breakdown of food. Mechanical breakdown occurs through chewing and mixing with saliva, while chemical breakdown is initiated by enzymes in saliva that start breaking down carbohydrates.

Protein chains are broken down into amino acids by enzymes in the stomach and small intestine during the process of digestion. These enzymes break the bonds between amino acids, allowing them to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

There are two that begin to be digested in the mouth. Sugars by amylase and fats by lingual lipase.

All the digestive enzymes are made of protein, yet some of them are protein-digesting enzymes. If they were all dumped into the same "pot" the protein digesting enzymes would quickly destroy the other enzymes, and the whole process would grind to a halt. The body must separate protein digestion from other processes.

1.The answer is your bones because it contains calcium.

2.The correct answer is hair and nails, because they're all made of ceratine

This test, whether performed for basal gastric acid secretion, gastric acid stimulation, or both, requires the passage of a lubricated rubber tube, either by mouth or through the nasal passage, while the patient is in a sitting or.

After macromolecules are broken down in the digestive process, their constituent molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream and used by the body for various functions. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose for energy, proteins are broken down into amino acids for building and repairing tissues, and lipids are broken down into fatty acids for energy storage and cell membrane synthesis.

No, stomach acid is not an enzyme. Stomach acid primarily consists of hydrochloric acid and helps to break down food and kill bacteria in the stomach. Enzymes are proteins that facilitate chemical reactions in the body, while stomach acid aids in digestion by creating an optimal environment for enzymes to work.

Yes, the pharynx is part of the gastrointestinal tract. It is located at the back of the throat and serves as a passage for food and liquids to move from the mouth to the esophagus.

The body might use reducing agents, such as glutathione or NADH, to regenerate vitamin C that was lost in a cooked vegetable. These compounds have the ability to convert the oxidized form of vitamin C (dehydroascorbic acid) back to its active reduced form (ascorbic acid).

Milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) is most commonly found as a liquid. The magnesium in the liquid can both neutralize excess stomach acid and, if taken in slightly larger doses, act as a saline laxative. This means that the magnesium works to pull salt or a saline solution from the blood into the intestines, therefore increasing the amount of water in the intestines and causing a laxative action. Milk of magnesia is generally considered to be one of the more gentle laxatives, as opposed to stimulant laxatives such as Dulcolax.

Bile salts produced by the liver help emulsify lipids, breaking them down into smaller particles that are more easily digested by enzymes. Lipase enzymes then work to break down the emulsified lipids into fatty acids and glycerol that can be absorbed by the body. Additionally, the presence of bile and lipase enzymes are important for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Goblet cells are the cells that produce mucus in the large intestine. These cells are specialized to secrete mucins, which help protect the intestinal lining and provide lubrication for the passage of stool.

The esophagus does not produce any enzymes. Even so, sometimes digestive enzymes produced in the stomach can make their way into the esophagus due to a hernia or a condition called gastroesophagic reflux.

A single starch molecule contents few thousands glucose monomers in single molecule.

Fatty acids are broken down through a process called beta-oxidation, which occurs in the mitochondria. During beta-oxidation, fatty acids are converted into acetyl-CoA, which can then enter the citric acid cycle for energy production.

The organelle that contains digestive enzymes used to recycle unwanted material in the cell is the lysosome. Lysosomes break down biomolecules and cellular waste through a process called autophagy, which helps maintain cellular homeostasis by removing damaged organelles and foreign particles.

The biological toxin you are referring to is likely a chemotherapeutic agent such as methotrexate. This drug targets rapidly dividing cells, including those in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, and skin, leading to side effects such as oral and skin ulcerations, as well as gastrointestinal bleeding. By inhibiting cell proliferation, these toxins can effectively target cancer cells but also affect normal rapidly dividing cells.

Gravy is a protein based liquid and so the enzyme that breaks it down is protease, this is the same case as blood, egg or sweat.

Fatty acids and glycerol

The digestive enzymes in Hydra are produced in their cells, specifically in the gastrodermis, which lines the inner cavity of the body column. These enzymes help break down food particles that are ingested by Hydra for absorption and nutrient acquisition.
