what are the two types of digestion?

Long time ago when I studied this but I think you are looking at physical and chemical. Physical digestion is masticulation, chewing, crushing, grinding etc and takes place in the mouth. Chemical digestion is the breakdown of foods by substances such as bile acids etc. This process also starts in the mouth as saliva contains some digestive acids, but in the main part takes place in the large intestine.

digested food that has been through the digestive system and it is really digested chyme

I'm guessing that you mean Paramecium, a single-celled organism?  Biochemically, metabolism would be the same as any one of our cells.  Digestion refers to breaking down food into nutrients that are then made available to individual cells.  Paramecium don't have a digestive tract though they do have an "oral groove."\n\nYou might want to ask this question over in zoology to get a biologist's more informed opinion.\n\nAloha

1.Hydrolyzes proteins via pepsin (a protease). \n2.Kills pathogens by dousing them with hydrochloric acid. 3.Stores food during digestion. \n4.Mechanically digests foods a little bit by churning the acid chyme.

OK, so if you don't digest plasmid you'll get three bands:\n\nlinear, nicked and supercoiled.\n\nHowever, you did digest it, with 2 enzymes with 1 site each (I think?).\n\nA complete digestion would yield 2 bands.  Incomplete digestion would give those two bands, plus linearized (single cut, either enzyme).

Mouth:(consists of teeth; tongue; salivary gland) the basic organ needed to chew food and mix saliva into the food for primary breakdown of food:\nOesophagus: (food pipe) it helps as a pipe to transfer food from mouth to stomach,\nStomach: a big bag which is the basic organ for digestion of food and mass;\nDuodenum: an organ at the end of stomach which breaks proteins into peptides;\nSmall intestines: organ for absorption of food materials\nLarge Intestine: organ for further break down of food mass and absorption of materials\nRectum: an organ at the end of intestines which store end mass of food.\nAnus organ for excretion of the end mass of food.

Salivary amylase catalyses the breakdown of starch (and glycogen) into maltose.\nThe process of digestion in the mouth is only brief because the masticated food is soon swallowed into the stomach.\nThe hydrochloric acid in the stomach stops any further digestion of starch.\nOnce the stomach contents enter the small intestine, pancreatic juices both neutralise the stomach acid and supply more enzyme - pancreatic amylase.\nSo the digestion of starch (and glycogen) is completed in the small intestine.

eat some snacks. I think your digestion is fast. for that reason, you should short meal for about 6 meals everyday. This keeps you from sudden slowing down of energy. \nYou just consume small snacks in the mid-day.

So the butter is mainly fat. And the fat digestion is started in the duodenum (small intestine) by the bile and the enzyme lipase.\nThe bile is responsible for the water solubilization of the fat while the lipase enzyme can dismantle the connection between the component of a fat (glycerol and fat acid). \nAfter this the fat reabsorbed by the epithelium of the small intestine and get into the liver by the blood and lymphatic circulation. The liver can transform it into sugar, protein (use the carbon chain), vitamins (D, A, E), steroid hormones and many other bio-molecules.

The exact same way it does a carrot, cookie, cheese... and everything else you eat.\n\n\n\nIn humans, digestion begins in the mouth where food is chewed with the teeth. The process stimulates exocrine glands in the mouth to release digestive enzymes such as salivary amylase, which aid in the breakdown of food, particularly carbohydrates. Chewing also causes the release of saliva, which helps condense food into a bolus that can be easily passed through the esophagus. The esophagus is about 20 centimeters long. The food is pushed down by a movement called peristalsis, which is the wave-like contraction of smooth muscle tissue characteristic of the Digestive system.\n\nThe food then goes to the stomach when it passes through the cardiac sphincter. In the stomach, food is churned and thoroughly mixed with hydrochloric acid and other digestive enzymes with digestive fluid to further decompose it chemically for a few hours. As the acidic level changes in the stomach and later parts of the digestive tract, more enzymes are activated or deactivated to extract and process various nutrients.\n\nAfter being processed in the stomach, food is passed to the small intestine via peristalsis. It passes through the pyloric sphincter and enters the first 10 inches of the small intestine, the duodenum, where it is further mixed with 3 different liquids, which are bile (which helps aid in fat digestion), pancreatic juice (made by the pancreas), and intestinal juice. They also add several enzymes: maltase, lactase and sucrase, to process sugars. (Bile also contains pigments that are by-products of red blood cell destruction in the liver; these bile pigments are eliminated from the body with the feces.) Most nutrient absorption takes place in the small intestine. The nutrients goes through the small intestine's wall (small, finger-like structure, that is called villi). The blood, which has absorbed nutrients, is carried away from the small intestine via the hepatic portal vein and goes to the liver for filtering, removal of toxins and help processing of nutrients.\n\nAfter going through the small intestine, the food then goes to the large intestine. The large intestine has 3 parts: the cecum (or pouch that forms the T-junction with the small intestine), the colon, and the rectum. In the large intestine, water is reabsorbed, and the foods that cannot go thorugh the villi such as fiber, can be stored in large intestine. Fiber helps to keep the food moving through the G.I. tract. The food that cannot be broken down is called feces. Feces is stored in the rectum until it is expelled through the anus

Neither is more important.  Without both systems, the body would not be able to function, so both are equally important.  And the word you are looking for is exocrine, although the exocrine pancreas is the part of the pancreas that deals with digestion.  The real question is between the exocrine pancreas and the endocrine pancreas.  If you had to pick one, I would say exocrine is more important, but they are both absolutely vital.

Pancreatic juice contains three digestive enzymes: tryptase, amylase, and lipase, that, along with intestinal enzymes, complete the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, respectively.

Amylase - occurs in the human mouth, breaking down starch, which is impossible for humans to digest.\n\nLipase - acts of lipids (fatty acids), breaking them down into simpler , more easily degradable substances.\n\nMaltose - acts on poly proteins to transfrom them into simpler amino acids

You have it right. Your body needs some water to help digest your food. For one thing, the food we eat has vitamins and minerals. Some of those are water soluable and need some watery substance to digest them properly. Especially if you are taking a multi vitamin with food.

The esophagus is just the path by which food travels from the mouth to the stomach. No digestion occurs within it. The movement of food is aided by muscle contractions called peristalsis, which works the food down to the stomach for further digestion.
