Chemicals can be chemically broken down into?
chemical compound can be broken down into simplier elements.

Why it is necessary for foods to be broken down into smaller molecules before they can be used within the body cells?
it needs to be used for vitamins
Why don't vitamins and minerals need to be digested before they are absorbed?
Vitamins are used in their original form by the cells. They do not require digestion. They are absorbed directly from the digestive tract, transported by the blood to the cells, and the cells absorb and use what they need.Because vitamins are absorbed by the body 'as is' - not broken down and digested.
How are foods changed by our digestive system?
Foods are broken down by digestive juices into nutrients. These nutrients are carried carried throughout the body and broken down into carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and fats which are used for energy, cell repair and growth. Digestion starts in the mouth with the saliva and ends in the large intestines and exits through the anus and rectum. Proteins are broken down into amino acids. Starches are broken down into sugars. Etc.
