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!

Muscle tissues are characterized by the presence of elongated cells, often called ____________ , that can contract to create mov
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1. Muscle Fibers

2. Bones

3. Joints

Explanation:

Muscle tissue is made of muscle fibers. The plasma membrane of a muscle fiber is called sarcolemma while its cytoplasm is known as sarcoplasm. Muscle cells are characterized by the presence of specialized endoplasmic reticulum which is called sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Muscle cells exhibit contractility and extensibility. The ability of muscle cells to shorten their length forcibly in response to a stimulus is their contractility. Muscle fibers have the ability to extend and shorten themselves.

Extension and contraction of muscle fibers are responsible for the movement of the human body and its parts.

Muscles are attached to bones via tendons which in turn are the fibrous connective tissues. Muscles are also part of our joints where they assist in the movement by pulling the bones as well as stabilize and strengthen the joints.
