What happens to certain nutrient molocules after they pass into muscle cells?
they are acted on by enzymea and release the energy they contain
What happens after physical and chemical changes have occurred?
The substance will remain in its current state unless acted upon in such a way as to cause a physical or chemical change.
What happens after pyruvate is brought into the mitochondrion?
It is carried by specific transporters (the negative charge on pyruvate won't allow it to diffuse) before being acted on by pyruvate dehydrogenase. I don't think these transports are named.
What is the force is acted when the paper clips are attracted to magnet?
gravity

Drama
What part of the alimentary canal is starch digested?
Salivary amylase in the mouth starts some of the breakdown. Further breakdown occurs in the small intestine where the remaining starch is acted upon by pancreatic amylase.
What describes the process of starch digestion?
When starch enters the mouth, it is acted upon by salivary amylase which is an enzyme that breaks starch down into maltose. It is not fully digested yet. In the stomach, low PH levels caused by the hydrochloric acid denatures the salivary amylase, rendering it useless for starch digestion. The starch remains in the stomach, until it's churning action turns starch into chyme (liquefied food) The purpose of this is to increase the surface area to volume ratio, so as to increase the efficiency of enzyme action. The starch leaves the stomach, and enters the small intestine. In the intestine, it is acted upon by the intestinal amylase, and the pancreatic amylase, which fully breaks down the starch into maltose. Afterwhich, the maltose is acted upon by maltase, which breaks it down into glucose. When this is done, it can be absorbed easily by the villi into the bloodstream.
What does amylase catalyse?
The saliva from the parotid gland releases enzymes called amylases into the mouth. One of the amylase enzmyes, ptyalin, acts as a catalyst in starting the digestion of some carbohydrates before they are even swallowed.
What happens to carnivores when they die?
they are acted by decomposers
What happens to an object that is acted upon by a unbalanced forces?
the forces move

What are the functions of pancreatic juice?
Pancreatic juice contains enzymes that (1) complete the digestion of starch(pancreatic amylase); (2) carry out about half of protein digestion(via the action of trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase); (3) are totally responsible for fat digestion because the pancreas is essentially the only source of lipases; and (4) digest nucleic acids(nucleases).

What happens when force is decreased?
Assuming that mass stays constant, a decrease in force will result in a corresponding decrease in the acceleration of the object being acted upon by the force.
When electrons return to the condition it had before being acted upon what happens next?
They will remain in the lower energy state, until they absorb energy once again.
What happens when an unbalanced force is acting on an object?
as stated in newtons second law of motion- an object acted upon by an unbalanced force will accelerate in the direction of that force
