What are the carbohydrates called when broken down into smaller molecules?
Carbohydrates are generally broken down into glucose which your cells use as fuel. They can also be broken down into fructose and galactose.
What are complex carbohydrates broken down into?
Complex carbohydrates are broken down into simple carbohydrates -- also known as sugar.
What are fats proteins and carbohydrates broken down into?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates are broken down into sugars and fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
Compounds formed by photosynthesis and broken down by plants and plant eating animals for energy is called?
Carbohydrates
Into what substance do most carbohydrates break down during digestion?
Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose in your body.
What is glycogen broken down into?
Glycogen is broken down in the blood by the help of glucagon. It is then transferred into the cells by insulin.
Carbohydrates are broken down to give us?
energy
Which macronutrient is not broken down chemically in the stomach?
carbohydrates
What types of molecules are broken down to make ATP which are most often broken down to make ATP?
Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are most often broken down to make ATP because they are the body's preferred source of energy due to their quick and efficient conversion into ATP through glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
What is the chemical reaction used to break down carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates begin digestion in the mouth with the help of the enzyme salivary amylase this process continues in the duodenum with the help of the enzyme amylase and it finishes off in the illeum still using amylase. Carbohydrates are broken down into polysaccharides which are chains of sugar and are then broken down into monosaccharides which are simple sugars. monosaccharides are the final break own product for carbohydrates. Proteins are digested in the stomach using the enzyme pepsin. continues to the duodenum and uses the enzyme trypsin and continues then to the illeum and uses the enzyme erepsin. proteins are broken down into polypeptides after this they are broken down into dipeptides and after this are then broken down into amino acids which is the final breakdown product. fats are broken down in the duodenum and the illeum . they are broken down in both using the enzyme lipase. they are broken down into fatty acids first and then into glycerol. glycerol is the final breakdown product for fats.
Disaccharides can be broken down into what?
A carbohydrase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates in the small intestine. The carbohydrases break down carbohydrates into simple sugars.
What type of reaction by which proteins and carbohydrates are broken down?
Glycolysis.
