endocytosis
This process is called synthesis.
into your small intestine.
The process of using water to build up small molecules into larger molecules is called condensation or dehydration synthesis. During this process, water is removed as small molecules (monomers) are joined together to form larger molecules (polymers). This is common in the formation of carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
The process of breaking down large molecules into smaller molecules is called catabolism. This process releases energy that cells can use for various functions.
Yes, small polar molecules can cross the cell membrane through a process called passive diffusion.
cellular respiration
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.
When many small molecules join together, they form a polymer. Polymers are large, complex molecules composed of repeating structural units, which can be natural, like proteins and cellulose, or synthetic, like plastics. This process of joining small molecules is called polymerization, and it can occur through various chemical reactions.
Absorption is the process
The process of breaking down food into small nutrient molecules is called digestion. Digestion occurs in the gastrointestinal tract and involves both mechanical and chemical processes to break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
digestion
This process is called digestion, where enzymes break down macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into smaller molecules like amino acids, sugars, and fatty acids that can be absorbed by the cells lining the digestive tract.
