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!

5 facts about Anaphase Mitosis ?
Klio2033 [76]
The sister chromatids are then pulled apart by the mitotic spindle which pulls one chromatid to one pole and the other chromatid to the opposite pole.

The chromosomes line up neatly end-to-end along the centre (equator) of the cell.
The centrioles are now at opposite poles of the cell with the mitotic spindle fibres extending from them.
The mitotic spindle fibres attach to each of the sister chromatids.

The DNA in the cell is copied in preparation for cell division, this results in two identical full sets of chromosomes?.
Outside of the nucleus? are two centrosomes, each containing a pair of centrioles, these structures are critical for the process of cell division.

Beginning with a cell that just fertilized ( 1 cell ) how many times must it divide to become a 64 cell blastomere ?
natka813 [3]

A cell that just fertilized has to divide 6 times to form a 64 cell blastomere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Human reproduction begins with the fusion of male gamete sperm and female gamete ovum. The fusion of sperm and ovum forms the zygote that is diploid. The zygote then undergoes mitotic division to develop into embryo.  

The zygote first divides into two and the two individual cells divide again to form four individual cells and so on. Thus the number of cells after each division can be represented by the equation 2^n  where n is the number of divisions.  in the question it is given that the blastomere has 64 cells.

2^n=64  

n=6

This means that the fertilized cell has to divide 6 times to develop into 64-celled blastomere.

The process by which cells are drawn or attracted to an area by a microbe invader is known as ________.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

chemotaxis

Explanation:

Chemotaxis is movement of the organism in the response to the chemical stimulus.

Bacteria, somatic cells and single-cell as well as multicellular organisms direct  movements of their body according to some chemicals in the environment. This is very important for the bacteria to find the food by swimming toward highest concentration of the food molecules or also to flee from the poisons.

<u>Thus, it is a process by which various cells are drawn to the target area by a microbe invader.</u>
