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.
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.
What are cell structures that breaks down nutrient molecules and old cell parts called?
The part of the cell brakes down food and old cell parts is call lysosome...
What is the process by which nutrient molecules are moved into the bloodstream called?
into your small intestine.
What happens after the enzyme amylase breaks down a starch molecule?
After the enzyme amylase breaks down a starch molecule, it breaks it into smaller sugar molecules called maltose.
What is the process called when food is broken down into small nutrient molecules?
cellular respiration
The process by which the digestive system breaks down food into molecules that the body can use is called .?
cells
What is the first stage of the respiration called?
something breaks down stored food molecules i think
What are the organeles within cells where energy is released from nutrient molecules?
The organelles where energy is released from nutrient molecules are called mitochondria. These organelles are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell because they produce the majority of the cell's energy currency, known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), through a process called cellular respiration.
What breaks down fat?
Fat is broken down through a process called lipolysis, which involves the breakdown of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol by enzymes such as lipase. These fatty acids can then be utilized as energy by the body through a process called beta-oxidation.
A general process which breaks down large molecules into smaller ones?
The process you are referring to is called catabolism. Catabolism involves breaking down large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process. This process is essential for producing energy and building blocks for anabolic reactions in cells.
What is the chemical reactions that allow large molecules to be broken apart into smaller molecules by adding water called?
Hydrolysis is the chemical reaction that breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules by adding water. Hydrolysis involves the cleavage of chemical bonds through the addition of water molecules.
