ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is made by the process of breaking down food. The ATP is stored in your cells until needed. When it is needed, a phosphate molecule breaks off and releases energy. The P and ADP (adenosine diphosphate) float around until they meet with one another again.

Does starch break down fat?
No, starch can not break down fat. they are different bio-molecules.
What kind of molecules build up or break down large molecules?
Enzymes
Why enzyme like pepsin only break down proteins and not other molecules?
The enzymes like pepsin break down the proteins and not the other molecules because they are themselves protein.
Does paper have nutrients?
It does contain some nutrients, but due to our inability to break down cellulose, it is not beneficial to us.
Why do large food molecules have to be broken down into small food molecules?
I think that they need to be small because there needs to be a lot of nutrients inside them but if they are too big then there wont be enough room for anything to pass in the digestive system and then it will get blocked. .
What best describes the function of the digestive system?
To break down food into nutrients.
Break down essential nutrients and return them to the soil?
Bacteria typically break down essential nutrients and return them to the soil. Sometimes fungi will break down essential nutrients and return them to the soil as well.
What is the role of a enzymes inside a lysosome?
they break down larger molecules If a cell organisation is disturbed , lysosomes break down and digest.
Catabolic reaction that cells use to get energy from nutrients?
Energy metabolism is a reaction that allows cells to get energy from nutrients. A catabolic pathway is a series of chemical reactions that break down the molecules to produce energy.
What nutrients do carbohydrase break down?
carbohydrates :)
What is the job of lysosome?
The job of the lysosome is to get rid of all bad/ access material.
What process break down large molecules into smaller molecules?
Hydrolysis
Tiny plants and animals that break down dead materials into nutrients?
Tiny plants and animals that break down dead materials into nutrients are call DECOMPOSERS
What breaks down nutrients in a cell?
no cells do not break down nutrients. digestive enzymes do and depending on where or what in the body you want to break down depends on what kind. for example in the mouth there is amylase enzyme which breaks down starch or pepsin in the stomach which breaks down protein. trypsin and erepsin also break down protein but in the small intestine. hope this is ok
Does starch break down fat?
No, starch can not break down fat. they are different bio-molecules.
What break down nutrients and foreign material?
Lysosome
What are organisms that break down dead organic matter in order to absorb the nutrient molecules?
Decomposers :)
