Digestion occurs in the stomach and the duodenum through the action of three main enzymes: pepsin, secreted by the stomach, and trypsin and chymotrypsin, secreted by the pancreas.During carbohydrate digestion the bonds between glucose molecules are broken by salivary and pancreatic amylase.The digestion of certain fats begins in the mouth, where short-chain lipids break down into diglycerides because of lingual lipase. The fat present in the small intestine stimulates the release of lipase from the pancreas, and bile from the liver enables the breakdown of fats into fatty acids.DNA and RNA are broken down into mononucleotides by the nucleases deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease (DNase and RNase) that are released by the pancreas.

What would happen to life on earth if the rate of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in all phototrophs were equal?
Irina18 [472]

When the rates of two processes photosynthesis and respiration becomes equal. Phototrophic organisms wouldn't be able to compensate for the lack of carbon dioxide levels. Phototrophs wouldn't be able to produce their food in the form of glucose and hence wouldn't be able to respire too. That would result in lack of overall available food from phototrophs and lack of available oxygen for respiration.

Photosynthesis also uses carbon dioxide faster than respiration produces it. Oxygen surplus is is released into the air and unused glucose is stored in the plant for later. That's why plants are so important to human and animal survival. Without photosynthesis we wouldn't have oxygen for food to stay alive and we would end up like the movie The Lorax
