During digestion organic molecules are broken down into what two components?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
Organic compounds are broken down into at least four different sub-components:
* lipids * amino acids * carbohydrates * fibre, sometimes called roughage
The wording of the question seems to infer you already know the answer you think it is, and if you were going to say CO2 and H2O then you're sorely mistaken.

Is digestion exergonic?
Hydrolysis and other chemical reactions are used during the process of digestion to break large molecules down into their smaller components. Hydrolytic reactions are exergonic reactions.
During digestion fat is changed into?
Fatty acid molecules and glycerol
What occurs during a decompostion reaction?
the components of several molecules recombine to form new molecules.
What occurs during decompostion reaction?
the components of several molecules recombine to form new molecules.
The end products of digestion are small usable food molecules These products are taken into the cells during the process of?
absorption
What organic molecules that can be broken down during cellular respiration can be obtained from?
polysaccharides, proteins and lipids
What chemical substances are used during the manufacture of organic molecules in photosynthesis?
Hydrogen, ATP and CO2
What is the coenzyme used during the cellular respiration pathway to produce oxidation?
organic molecules contain
Why is food roken down into smaller molecules during digestion?
Food is broke down into smaller molecules because if it isn't broken down, it'll get stuck in your body.
What molecules do lipids become during digestion?
Lipids are fats so they are either stored as fat or used as energy.
What is the basic process of digestion during which water molecules are added back into polymers to separate them into their smaller monomers so they can be absorbed?
Hydrolysis
The purpose of cellular respiration is to what the energy from carbohydrates and other organic molecules stored during photosynthesis?
break down
