Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

Digestion or breakdown of food in our body can either be physical/mechanical or chemical/enzymatic. As rightly stated in this question, the manual breakdown of food by the teeth is not enough, chemical digestion must occur via the aid of proteinous substances called ENZYMES. Enzymes, which are secreted by certain organs in the body, do the following:

- They speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for the chemical process, allowing more productivity.

- Enzymes help break down various sugars that can then be absorbed e.g amylase helps break down starch, proteases break down proteins, lipases break down lipids etc.

How are things transported through the membrane
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The mechanisms of transport across the cell membrane are as follow: 1- simple diffusion, 2- facilitated diffusion, 3- primary active transport and 4-secondary active transport

Explanation:

The cell membrane is a selectively permeable structure capable of transporting substances by different mechanisms. Simple diffusion is a type of passive transport (i.e. does not require energy) where non-polar molecules (e.g. O2, CO2) pass across the membrane by a process that does not require energy from the cell. Facilitated diffusion is another type of passive transport where larger polar molecules (e.g., glucose and amino acids) pass across the membrane by using specific transmembrane integral proteins. On the other hand, primary active transport is a type of active transport that uses chemical energy (e.g., ATP) to move substances such as metal ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+) across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient. Finally, secondary active transport is another type of active transport where transporter proteins are used to couple the movement of ions (e.g., H+ protons) down their electrochemical gradient to the transport of another ions/solutes against their concentration/ electrochemical gradient.
