What else can I help you with?
The progress in which your body breaks down food into small nutrient molecules is called?
Digestion
Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the bloodstream through tiny structures called what?
Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the through tiny structures called villi.
What chemical reaction breaks complex molecules down into small molecules?
Catabolism
Where does sugar go when you put it in your drink?
The crystal structure breaks down and the sugar molecules become dispersed throughout the liquid. The sugar doesn't "go" anywhere. The molecules are far too small to see.
What does acid in the stomach do?
Acid breaks the food from big molecules to small, tiny molecules so that small intestine can easily digest it.
Do Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the blood stream through the villi?
Yes.
What does mechanical digestion do?
Breaks down food into small molecules that can be adsorbed by blood.
What is the type of digestion that breaks down food into molecules that can be absorbed?
small intestine
What two digestive processes occur in the small intestine?
The two processes that occur are digestion and absorption. Digestion is the process by which your body breaks down food into small nutrient chemicals. While absorption is the process in which when the small nutrient molecules go through a wall of the digestive system and into the blood.
The process in which your body breaks down food into small nutrient molecules is called?
Mechanical digestion. The actual grinding and physical breaking down of food. Chemical digestion breaks down food using chemicals/enyzyms and chemical reactions.
The process that breaks down food into small molecules so they can be absorbed?
digestion
What is the process called when food is broken down into small nutrient molecules?
cellular respiration
