Enzymes breaks down the food into digestibale forms. peptidases and proteases break down proteins, lipases break fats into glycerol and fatty acids, amylases break down carbohydrates into simpler utilizable sugars like glucose etc. Nucleases break down nucleic acids into nucleotides.

Enzymes chemically change the makeup of nutrient into the form that can be used by the cell.

Further Explanation:

The enzyme is the biological catalyst that participates in the chemical reaction occurring in the body of the organism. Most of them are made up of proteins.

The enzyme binds to the substrate or the reactant and then converting it into the product. They decreases the activation energy of the reaction. This allows the reactant to easily achieve the transition energy.

Enzyme acts by chemically altering the nutrient make up such that they get changed into the form which can readily be used by the cell.

Amino acids are the monomeric subunit of a polymer known as protein. These amino acids are linked to each other by the peptide linkage. The proteins are acted upon by the proteases which then converts them into the amino acids.

Carbohydrate is the biomolecule that provides energy to the body. The different types of carbohydrate are:

Monosaccharide

Disaccharide

Polysaccharide

Nutrients are the molecules such as carbohydrate, protein and lipids that provide energy to the body.

At the neuromuscular junction, _______ must enter the synaptic end bulb to stimulate the release of ____________, which binds to

lana [24]

Answer:

At the neuromuscular junction, calcium must enter the synaptic end bulb to stimulate the release of acetylcholine, which binds to ligand gates so sodium ions can enter the muscle fiber.

Explanation:

Skeletal fiber contractions are based on different physiological and biochemical phenomena that happen in every cell. These phenomena are due to stimulation produced by somatic motor neurons, which axons get in contact with muscle fibers through a neuromuscular synapse. In rest, attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments are inhibited by the tropomyosin. When an action potential is originated in the central nervous system, it travels to the somatic motor neuron membrane: the muscle fiber, and activates the calcium channels releasing it in the neuron. Calcium makes vesicles to fuse with the membrane and release the neurotransmitter named acetylcholine (Ach) into the synaptic space in the juncture. Then, Ach binds to its receptors on the skeletal muscle fiber. This causes the ion channels to open, and positively charged sodium ions cross the membrane to get into the muscle fiber (sarcoplasm) and potassium get out. The difference in charges caused by the migration of sodium and potassium makes the muscle fiber membrane to become more positively charged (depolarized). The action potential caused by this depolarization enters the t-tubules depolarizing the inner portion of the muscle fiber. This activates calcium channels in the T tubules membrane, that make the calcium be released into the sarcolemma. At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to the troponin C, the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites. Myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, and while doing it ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate. Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.
