Digestion and Absorption Digestion = breakdown of large particles and molecules into smaller molecules • Intracellular – Within food vacuoles; cells – Evolutionarily…more primitive – Lysosomes • Extracellular – – – – Lumen of digestive tract More advanced, active animals Mechanisms for grinding up, breaking down food Advantages: Digestion and Body Plans Sac Body • primitive forms • single opening • mixing with wastes Tube Within a Tube • higher animals • separate opening for mouth & anus • gut specialization Digestion Digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats all occur by the process of hydrolysis breaking bond by insertion of H2O Hydrolytic reactions of digestion are catalyzed by enzymes: Carbohydrates and oligosaccharides: • carbohydrases • glycosidases Proteins and peptides: • proteases • peptidases Fats: • lipases ALL are hydrolytic enzymes.
