Digestion changes food into substances which the body can use. This is a series of chemical changes where the food molecules react with water in the presence of enzymes to produce smaller, soluble molecules.
- saliva in the mouth contains enzymes that break some starches down to glucose
- hydrochloric acid and enzymes in the stomach denature proteins and break them down to amino acids
- enzymes in the small intestine break fats down to fatty acids
- enzymes in the small intestine break starches down to glucose
- bacteria in the large intestine break complex carbohydrates down to glucose

What changes food into a form that is usable by all the bodies cells?
the digestive system turns the food you eat into nutrient that are suitable for use by the body's cells
The process of breaking down food into usable materials?
Digestion is the process of breaking down food into usable materials, and is one function of the digestive system. The other function, absorption, makes these materials available to all cells in the body.
Describe the process of digestion with food entering the body and ending with undigested and unabsorbed food leaving the body?
When you eat things like bread, meat, and vegetables, they are not in a form that the body can use as nourishment. They must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before they can be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. Digestion allows your body to get the nutrients and energy it needs from the food you eat
What is the structure that transforms energy in food into a usable form?
Food energy is used for heat and motive energy (muscle contraction).

What process turns your food into a form that your cells can use?
Digestion.
How the body turns food into energy?
food is oxidized meaning it reacts with oxygen and CO2, H2O and energy in the form ATP is produced
What is the changing of food to a form the body can use?
That is the process known as cellular respiration.
In what process do animals turn food into a form there body can use?
Cellular respiration
How does the digestive system of an animal carry out a life process?
the digestive system takes in food needed by the body then it breaks down the food into a form the body cells can use
What is the process of breaking down food into molecules the body can use called?
The process of breaking down complex food material and converting it into simple organic form is called digestion.
What changes food into a form that is usable by all the bodies cells?
the digestive system turns the food you eat into nutrient that are suitable for use by the body's cells
Where is the undigest food is stored?
Food begins the digestive process as soon as it enters your mouth. Saliva and chewing breaks the food down into a form that can be swallowed and used by the body.
The process of breaking down food into usable materials?

How is the energy in food released in to the body?
cellular respiration.
What is a food that the body turns into sugar?
Any food that has sugars, carbohydrates, or any other form of energy. Just about all the food you eat.
