What is large molecules to small molecules called?
cell wall
Difference between macro molecules and micro molecules?
the molecules required by our body in small quantity is kown as macro molecules
How are the molecules in polymers different from the molecules of other compounds?
A polymer is a long chain of small molecules (monomers).
What moves substances in and out of a cell?
Most molecules can move in and out of a cell, but different molecules have different methods of getting in- Small Non-Polar molecules can diffuse across the lipid bilayer Medium sized molecules of any kind require a specific protein channel HUGE MOLECULES require a process called endo and exocytosis
What are the special proteins that can break large molecules into small molecules?
These substances are called enzymes.
The process of breaking down food into small nutrient molecules?
mastication i think....i know that is at least the first part of the process that takes place in your moth.......i think its the whole thing..
What is the process of breaking down food to small molecules?
digestion
What is the process by which nutrient molecules are moved into the bloodstream called?
into your small intestine.
What is the process called when food is broken down into small nutrient molecules?
cellular respiration
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.
Small round structure that breaks down nutrient molecules?
No
Do Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the blood stream through the villi?
Yes.
The progress in which your body breaks down food into small nutrient molecules is called?
Digestion
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 of breaking down food to release its energy is called?
The process of breaking down food so we can absorb it is called digestion. Releasing the energy by breaking it down further in our cells is respiration.
What breaks down food into molecules that the cell can use?
It is broken down into small molecules by a complicated process called digestion. Digestive enzymes like saliva, gastric juice, intestinal juice, bile, pancreatic juice all play a part in digesting and breaking down the food to small molecules so that it can get absorbed by the small intestine
