Talk:Saprobiont

Merge proposal

I propose we merge the articles Extra-cellular digestion and Saprobiontic, since they seem to cover the same ground. Anxietycello (talk) 23:08, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

No, fuck that!! I wanna them to be separate! (Please, don't count as spam or vandalism: it's true!)

Why can't you keep them apart. They are two separate things but are a little different. Don't merge them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.179.87 (talk) 03:15, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

They aren't the same thing at all. Digesting outside of your cells is totally different from digesting outside of your body. -Ryan Callahan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.8.105 (talk) 08:40, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

In fact, extracellular digestion isn't what this article says it is at all. And maybe I'm wrong, but I think all enzymes are proteins by definition, though not all catalysts are enzymes. "saprabiontic" isn't in my textbook, but extracellular digestion is (Biology, Campbell, 8th ed p882) -Ryan Callahan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.8.105 (talk) 08:53, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

All enzymes are proteins?

I'm not sure what the meaning of the sentence "Enzymes are catalysts. All are proteins." is, but it's certainly misleading. I don't know if it's true that all secreted enzymes are proteins, but not enzymes are proteins. Some, for example, are RNA. Anyway, I opine that the afforesaid sentence ought to be rendered more clearly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.230.38.98 (talk) 02:38, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
