Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder in which there aren’t enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout your body. These rigid, sticky cells can get stuck in small blood vessels, which can slow or block blood flow and oxygen to parts of the body.

The Sickle cell disease is a genetically inherited deformed cell. These cells are deformed into crescent shaped moons. This is serious and can lead to blood clots. Since these cells are deformed, they usually can’t fit in the capillaries aka tubes that carry blood throughout your body. These sells can block the entrances to the capillaries and cause blood flow to stop being transferred from one area of the body to another.

The breakdown of food via enzymatic reactions is known as __________.
r-ruslan [8.4K]
I believe you're looking for "chemical digestion".

Chemical digestions is where food that we ate is digested into simpler and soluble molecules that can be absorbed by our body. Enzymes are used as a catalyst to speed up the reaction.

One example is the digestion of lipids. Enzyme named lipase is used to speed up the digestion of lipids into 3 fatty acid molecules and 1 glycerol. This way, our body can absorb these simple molecules, and use them in order to make our body function.

On the other hand, physical digestion does not include enzymes, such as chewing in our mouth, therefore, don't mix them up!
