What chemical speeds up the chemical breakdown of food?
A substance that speeds the changing of food into a usable form* is called an enzyme. More generally, in any chemical context, a substance that speeds a reaction without itself being changed is called a catalyst._______________________________________*This changing of food into a usable form is called "digestion".
Is chewing of food chemical change?
The food you are eating changes state. The food is a solid but it get its state changes by you chewing food. Changing state is making a chage in apperance. So in a way it is a chemical change If that answers your question, your welcome!!
What is the structure that transforms energy in food into a usable form?
Food energy is used for heat and motive energy (muscle contraction).
Is your teeth grinding food a mechanical or chemical change?
The teeth grinding is a mechanical change. The saliva mixing in with the food and starting the digestive process would be a chemical change.

What process of changing food into a usable form?
Chemical Change
Is the breakdown of food into usable units through physical and chemical changes?
metabolism
What Plants are dependent on microorganisms for?
changing atmospheric nitrogen to a usable form
Which part of mitochondrion are important in converting chemical energy from food to a form of energy usable to the cell?
eggh
The food making process by Which green plants converts the light from the sun into usable chemical energy is called?
photosynthesis
How food energy can be viewed as molecular potential energy?
Food energy is a type of chemical energy (specifically, any chemical energy that is usable for living beings). And chemical energy is the potential energy related to forces between atoms.
The digestive system processes food into usable and unusable materials by what type of digestion?
The digestive system processes food into usable and unusable materials by chemical digestion. The usable materials are transported via the cells throughout the body while the unusable materials are sent to the large intestine where it waits to be disposed of.
Which process takes chemical energy and makes it usable?
The chemical process that turns food into the greatest amount of energy possible is called cellular respiration, and is represented by the following equation: C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O.
What are nutrients broken down by?
Food is broken down into nutrients by the digestive system. Ingested food is transformed into usable nutrients by mechanical and chemical processes in the digestive system.
Why do people need to eat food in order to carry out many of their chemical reactions?
you need food because food contains protein and the enzymes are made out of protein and the enzyme speeds up the chemical reaction in a human body
Is cooking food chemical or physical change?
chemical because heat is going on to it and it is changing texture by Alexandra holly middlehurst xoxo
