The process that breaks down food into small molecules so they can be absorbed?
digestion
What is the process is directly responsible for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate molecules?
respiration
What is the process by which food is broken down into molecules small enough to be absorbed by the body?
chemical digestion
What is digestion answer?
The process in which food containing large, insoluble molecules is broken down in to small, water soluble molecules (which can be absorbed by the body) is called digestion.
What is the basic process of digestion during which water molecules are added back into polymers to separate them into their smaller monomers so they can be absorbed?
Hydrolysis
How do you know if the heat is absorbed or released?
Boiling does require the liquid to be absorbing heat--large amounts at the point of transition from liquid to gas. Obviously, in the real world, some of this heat is being released simultaneously, but more must be absorbed than is released for boiling to continue.
What are the molecules in fire?
In a chemical process, the molecules rearrange themselves. Energy is either released or absorbed. The process in a fire is called oxidation, where oxygen atoms combine with hydrogen and carbon to form waterand carbon dioxide. Oxidation is the same chemical process that turns iron into rust.
What is the process of reducing blood loss is called?
The process of reducing blood is called cloting of blood or coagulation of blood
What creates energy in cells?
Cellular Respiration is the process in the cell that creates energy (ATP). Cellular Respiration is broken up into three stages; Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and is responsible for the net formation of 2 ATP molecules. The process then enters the matrix of the mitochondria where the Krebs Cycle takes place. The Krebs Cycle is responsible for the formation of 4 ATP molecules. Finally, the Electron Transport Chain is responsible for the formation of 30 ATP molecules. Therefore, for each cycle of cellular respiration, 36 molecules of ATP are produced in the cell.
In which process is fiber absorbed into the large intestine?
it is absorbed in the small intestine before it gets absorbed back into the large instestine.
In which process dose the cell use a vesicle to move molecules out of the cell?
Exocytosis is the process that moves molecules from the inside of the cell to the outside. This process uses sacs or vesicles to move the molecules out.
What is a Unused neurotransmitters are absorbed in a process?
reuptake
